Raw Zucchini White Parmigiana

 Raw Zucchini White Parmigiana Parmigiana Bianca di Zucchine

Ingredients:

• 3–4 medium zucchini (thinly sliced lengthwise)
• 150g ham (prosciutto or cooked ham)
• 200g mozzarella cheese (sliced or shredded)
• 50g grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 1 garlic clove (optional)
• Salt & black pepper (to taste)
• Fresh basil or parsley (optional)

 Instructions:

1. Prepare the zucchini
   Wash and slice the zucchini into thin strips (using a knife or mandoline).
   Optional: Sprinkle a little salt and let them sit for 10 minutes, then pat dry (this removes excess water).
2. Preheat the oven
   Set your oven to 180°C (350°F).
3. Prepare the baking dish
   Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil and rub it with garlic for extra flavor.
4. Layer the ingredients
   • First layer: zucchini slices
   • Add ham
   • Add mozzarella
   • Sprinkle a bit of Parmesan
     Repeat the layers until everything is used, finishing with cheese on top.
5. Season
   Add a drizzle of olive oil, black pepper, and a little salt if needed.
6. Bake
   Bake for 30–35 minutes until golden and bubbly on top.
7. Rest & serve
   Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before serving so it sets nicely.

 Tips:

• You can add ricotta for extra creaminess
• For a vegetarian version, skip the ham
• Grill the zucchini first if you want a stronger flavor

Result: Creamy, cheesy, and super melty layers — simple but incredibly delicious!
