Preparation

How to prepare Pizzaiola Zucchini

To prepare pizzaiola zucchini, first cut the mozzarella into small cubes 1 and let it drain. Wash the zucchinis, trim the ends, and cut them into rounds, about 1/4 inch thick 2. Pour the tomato sauce into a bowl, season it with salt 3, olive oil, and chopped basil leaves.

Mix well 4. Take a 9.5-inch non-stick pan and place a few tablespoons of tomato sauce on the bottom. Arrange the zucchini inside 5, covering the entire surface 6.

Add a little more tomato sauce on top 7, a tablespoon of grated Parmesan 8, and some mozzarella cubes 9.

Continue in this manner, alternating ingredients until you finish the zucchini 10. Add more tomato sauce on top 11, a bit more Parmesan, and the remaining mozzarella 12. Cook for 40 minutes, then serve.
