Summer is the time when zucchini is abundant, and we prepare it in countless ways. This time, I offer you a recipe for simple zucchini gnocchi, which we can make in bulk and freeze, allowing us to enjoy summer flavors even in winter. The gnocchi are very light and soft, and when served in a juicy tomato sauce, they become a delicious, satisfying, yet easily digestible summer meal that can be prepared in just half an hour.

Zucchini is one of the most popular summer foods, delighting us with its versatility, as it can be prepared in a thousand and one ways. They are excellent breaded, stewed, baked, grilled, stuffed … For a change, this time I suggest a somewhat overlooked method of preparation, which is zucchini in sauce, very tasty and suitable for numerous dishes. It can be fried meat, baked cutlets, grilled dishes, fish fillets, or simply a fried egg. They are also excellent in combination with mashed potatoes and meatballs.

Diced zucchini is mixed with beaten, seasoned eggs and baked.
