Italian 30 Mins Prep · 60 Mins Cook
- Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4.
- To make the tomato sauce, thinly slice the onion, crush the garlic and finely chop the chilli. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium-low heat. Add the onion, garlic and chilli to the pan. Sauté, stirring occasionally, for approx. 5-10 minutes until the onion softens. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, oregano and water. Cook, stirring continuously, for 15 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper.
- Using a mandolin, slice the courgette lengthways into 1cm pieces. Place the courgette slices in a large bowl and toss with 1 teaspoon of salt. Set aside for 15-20 minutes, then brush off the excess salt and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Heat the remaining olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan over a high heat. Sauté the courgette in batches for 2 minutes on each side, or until lightly golden. Place 1⁄3 of the tomato sauce in a large baking dish. Place one layer of courgette slices on top of the tomato sauce and top with a handful of cheese. Spoon over another layer of tomato sauce and repeat with the remaining ingredients, finishing with the cheese.
- Place in the oven and bake for approx. 20 minutes before turning the oven to grill. Grill for approx. 5 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
- Serve immediately.
