Step 1

Combine the rice and water in a saucepan, and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer 20 minutes, until rice is tender.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Lightly grease a shallow 1 1/2 quart casserole dish.
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the zucchini, green onions, and garlic 5 minutes, or until tender.
Season with garlic salt, basil, paprika, and oregano.
Mix in the cooked rice, tomatoes, and 1 cup cheese.
Continue to cook and stir until heated through.
Transfer to the prepared casserole dish. Top with remaining cheese.
