Cut the tomatoes in half and place on lightly greased cookie sheet, bake in the oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until almost dried but still moist. Remove from the oven let cool, then cut into smaller pieces.
Trim the zucchini and then slice it lengthwise into thin (not too thin) strips, grill on pan grill until tender, approximately 1-2 minutes on each side. Move zucchini to a clean plate and continue until all zucchini are grilled.
FOR THE SAUCE
In a medium-size bowl add the oven dried tomatoes, parsley, oregano, salt, basil, garlic, hot pepper flakes and olive oil, mix gently to combine.
Lightly grease a 8 x 6 inch (20x15 cm) baking dish, arrange one layer of zucchini ⅓ on the bottom top with ⅓ of the tomato mixture, sprinkle with ½ of the grated mozzarella and ⅓ of the Parmesan cheese, continue with another 2 layers (the second layer of zucchini sprinkle with a pinch of salt), the last layer top with only the Parmesan cheese. Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, let sit 5 minutes before serving. Top with extra Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy!
** There might be a little water at the bottom of the baking dish, just drain it off.
