How to stuff a large zucchini? We hollow out zucchini slices, stuff them and bake them.

What to do with grown zucchini? Does such a big one still taste good and won't it be stringy?

Nothing in our kitchen should be wasted. We can cut the overgrown zucchini into slices, remove the seeds and fibrous pulp, put the filling and bake. The seeds can be dried and sown in the garden in the spring.

If the skin turns out to be too hard for you, just don't eat it. However, do not peel such a hard skin for baking. This will make it easier to pull the baked slices out of the oven. Similarly, we can bake slices of squash, where the skin can be very hard.

INGREDIENTS

• zucchini
• 250 g ricotta cheese
• 80 g Parmesan or other cheese*

*What to replace Parmesan, Italian hard Parmigiano Reggiano cheese? It is best to choose a cheese with a similar structure or at least a similar hardness. A good choice will be Italian cheese Grana Padano, Greek Kefalotiri, Lithuanian Džiugas or our Polish crispy and aromatic cheese with a spicy note Bursztyn
