1 1/2 cups instant rice
1 pound summer squash or zucchini
1 pound broccoli or cauliflower
1 15 1/2-ounce jar spaghetti sauce
1/4 cup water
1 cup cheddar cheese shredded (4 oz.)
1 cup monterey jack cheese shredded (4 oz.)
In a 2-quart glass casserole, place rice. Cut vegetables into 1- to 2-inch slices or pieces. Place over rice.
Pour sauce and water over vegetable mixture. Cover tightly with plastic wrap, piercing to allow steam to escape. Microwave at 100% power (700 watts) for 14 to 16 minutes or until vegetables are fork tender.
Remove plastic wrap from casserole. Sprinkle cheeses over the vegetables. Cover with a foil tent and let stand for 5 minutes. Remove foil and microwave at 100% power for 1 to 2 minutes to reheat and melt cheese before serving.
