Rosella recommends

Cooking times may be shorter since the high percentage of liquids contained in the zucchini, combined with the mozzarella, might bring the content to a boil earlier. You just need to check for the start of boiling (whistle) and add 2 actual minutes of cooking.

Variations of zucchini parmesan in jar cooking
