What an excellent change of pace! This gratin is creamy and delicious. I could tell the zucchini was in there, but the hubby couldn't. Regardless, it is very tasty! I only made half a recipe in a small gratin dish. After the bake time, I found the rice wasn't cooked enough, so had to add about a tablespoon of broth and mixed it in. I don't think my foil was on tight enough, perhaps? The additional liquid did the trick, though. Half a recipe equals four servings, but it was so good that, between the two of us, there were no leftovers! Thanks for sharing!
