🥬 Vegetarian 🌾 Gluten-Free 🥜 Nut-Free ☪️ Halal ✡️ Kosher

Zoodles and broccoli mixed with mushrooms, peppers, and other yummy vegetables topped with fresh mozzarella cheese and then baked altogether create a wonderful veggie casserole that is just busting with flavor. This dish was a little soupy; I just served it using a slotted spoon and it worked perfectly.
