You know those days when you need to make lunch, and you no longer know what to make. That is also healthy, tasty, and if you have kids something they will eat other than potatoes and pizza? In this recipe, they will not know that zucchini are there, it is absolutely simple and made up of 4 ingredients. Also, we make the cream/sauce from the peel of zucchini. So we do not throw anything.
