Print Recipe

A delightful twist on a classic Italian Bolognese, featuring fresh zucchinis for added texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, sliced or diced

  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Prep your zucchini by washing and slicing them into half-moons or dicing them.
