Preparation

How to prepare Zucchini alla sorrentina

To prepare zucchini alla sorrentina, cut the mozzarella into 1 cm cubes 1 and let it drain just long enough to prepare the rest of the ingredients. Peel and cut and slice the courgettes 2. Pour a drizzle of oil and two cloves of garlic into the pan (reduce to taste) 8, allow to flavor.

Pour the zucchini into the pan 4 and cook for about 8-10 minutes. Halfway through cooking, remove the garlic cloves 5. Once ready, remove them from the pan and set aside 6.

Wash and cut the cherry tomatoes in half 7. In the same pan in which you cooked the zucchini pour the cherry tomatoes 8. Season with half the basil 9, salt and pepper.

Cook for about 5 minutes over low heat 10. Now take the pan (the one shown is for 2 people, you can use two), oil the bottom 11 and spread a layer of zucchini, salt 12 and pepper.

Pour in the cherry tomatoes, more chopped basil and a part of the diced mozzarella 14. Continue with the layers until all the ingredients are used up 15.

Finally spread the cheese 16 on the surface and bake in a preheated oven at maximum temperature for 8-10 minutes in grill mode 17. Serve the zucchini alla sorrentina hot 18 or even lukewarm.
