Those who have a garden know that we often forget a few zucchini that grow up under the large leaves of the plant. In this case, we can gather these overgrown zucchini that are not really suitable to be consumed in the traditional ways. This principle also applies when you find abnormally large zucchini in the grocery store. I created this recipe in which you can also use the overgrown zucchini. It is suitable for hot climates like Italy and it’s also very fast and fresh.
