Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Slice two zucchinis into half-moons and sauté them in olive oil with a small piece of butter until they are soft and lightly golden. Cut the remaining zucchini into thin slices (these will be used for garnish) and set aside.
Step 2
Beat the eggs and, while continuing to whisk, add the ricotta, salt, and pepper to taste, along with a pinch of nutmeg. Combine the mixture with the sautéed zucchini, then add grated Parmesan cheese and finely chopped parsley and basil.
Step 3
Grease a baking dish with butter, place the rolled-out dough into it, spread the filling over the dough, fold the edges, and decorate the surface with rings of zucchini. Place in an oven preheated to 355°F for twenty to thirty minutes.
