Summer Vegetable Parmesan Bake

I have been looking for a recipe to this dish I tried a while back at a gathering & wasn't having much success.  It was a wonderful summer vegetable dish!  It had sliced squash, zucchini, tomatoes, & potatoes layered in this casserole, topped with parmesan cheese, & that might have been all it was, but I felt it might have had something in it.  I had kind of given up on finding the exact recipe, but then something wonderful happened.  I was recently eating at one of my favorite restaurants, called Tucanos, for my birthday & they serve similar grilled vegetables with parmesan cheese as part of their churrasco (meat dinner service.)  The server told us it was flavored with Italian dressing & parmesan cheese.  I was like, "Perfect!"  So I went home & made this vegetable bake that turned out quite nicely.  The colors are vibrant & it's delicious to eat!
