Hooker Johnny Matthews scored a hat-trick of tries as Glasgow Warriors recovered from an early blow to ease aside bottom side Zebre.
Chris Cook went over within 90 seconds as the visitors eyed a first United Rugby Championship win of the season.
But three tries from Matthews and one from JP du Preez put Glasgow in control by half time at Scotstoun.
Stafford McDowall, Josh McKay, Thomas Gordon and Fraser Brown all went over after the break.
Glasgow remain ahead of fifth-top Munster, who also eased to victory at home to Scarlets, as Zebre continue their wait for a first URC win of the season.
