Sauteed zucchini pieces are coated with a zesty marinara sauce and topped with a generous helping of mozzarella cheese. These baked sandwiches are a great vegetarian version of the Italian grinder.

Ingredients

1 Tbs. butter
2 medium zucchini, cubed
1 pinch red pepper flakes
salt and pepper to taste
1 C. marinara sauce
1 1/2 C. shredded mozzarella cheese
4 (6 inch) French or Italian sandwich rolls, split

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the zucchini in butter until browned and slightly tender. Season with red pepper flakes, salt and pepper, and stir in the marinara sauce. Cook and stir until sauce is heated. Spoon a generous amount of the zucchini mixture into each sandwich roll. Top with a handful of shredded mozzarella. Close the rolls, and wrap individually in aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven, until bread is heated through, and cheese is melted.
