    Stuffed Zucchini with Ham and Parmigiano

    Published: Oct 17, 2017 · Modified: Mar 2, 2024 by Silvana Nava · This post may contain affiliate links

    Today I want to suggest you a very delicate filling for my new recipe Stuffed Zucchini with Ham and Parmigiano, a filling that I'm sure your children would like a lot: potatoes, ham and cheese.

    But not any type of cheese; Parmigiano Reggiano will be my choice for this recipe.

    There are many types of fillings that match very well with zucchini and that are common in Italian traditional cuisine: you can find fillings made of minced meat, fish, vegetables, cheeses...depending on the regional habits.

    In Sicily, for example, are popular tuna stuffed zucchini.
