## Tips

- If too much zucchini makes the dish soupy, leave it out altogether.
- If the dish is too soupy, add 2-3 cups more mozzarella and bake uncovered for another 10 minutes, or let sit on the counter to cool longer.
- Optional add-ins include mushrooms, corn, fire-roasted tomatoes, kale instead of spinach, or pepper jack cheese for heat.
