Tips
It is important to drain the zucchinis well, as they will release a lot of water, resulting in a very muddy dough that will not bake well.
We can vary the cheeses to replace Parmesan: pecorino, Grana Padano, dried goat cheese, tomme, or feta.
You can also put fresh mint, sage, fresh thyme, marjoram, or oregano as aromatic herbs.
