Preheat a grill to medium heat, oil the grates or spray the grill to avoid sticking. Grill zucchini until slightly brown, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer each strip to a plate lines with paper towels to absorb excess moisture.

In a medium bowl combine Ricotta, Parmesan and egg, mix together to well combined. Spread 1/2 cup of mixture into glass baking dish, begin laying zucchini ribbons side by side over the mixture. Ladle an even coat of Fusion sauce overtop and generously add mozzarella (approximately, one cup) to cover completely. Repeat process until you have about 3 nice layers. Sprinkle bread crumbs evenly over the top, cover with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes, after which you will remove the foil and finish topping with the remaining cup of mozzarella you had on reserve. Place back in oven and bake uncovered for another 15-20 minutes until cheese is completely melted and bubbling.
