Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Simply reheat on the stovetop.
  • Freezing: It’s best to enjoy this dish fresh, but if you must freeze it, do so before adding the zucchini.
  • Pairing: This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of crusty bread or a simple green salad.
  • Cheese Lovers: Top it off with some fresh mozzarella or feta for a creamy addition.
  • Nutty Twist: Sprinkle some pine nuts or walnuts on top for added crunch and nutrition.
