In this YouTube tutorial, Orazio Vagnozzi of the "Orazio Food Experience" channel demonstrates how to make a white zucchini parmigiana, a lighter alternative to the classic eggplant version. He begins by introducing the concept of using grilled zucchini slices instead of fried eggplant, emphasizing a lighter, more delicate dish. He lists the ingredients—zucchini, parmesan, cream, ricotta, pecorino, mozzarella, eggs, lemon zest, a variety of fresh herbs (mint, parsley, basil, marjoram, thyme), vegetable broth, oil, salt, pepper, and breadcrumbs—explaining optional herb variations. He shows how to slice the zucchini with a mandoline to about 0.5 cm thickness, salt them for 30 minutes to draw out moisture, then pat them dry. He grills the slices on a hot pan (or grill) with a minimal amount of oil, turning them frequently to avoid darkening and to evaporate excess water. Next, he prepares a parmesan‑cream sauce by heating vegetable broth with cream to just under 60 °C, then blending in grated parmesan to avoid curdling. He combines ricotta, an egg and a yolk, lemon zest, and finely chopped herbs to create a ricotta‑herb cream, which is later mixed with the parmesan sauce. He assembles the dish in a buttered baking dish, layering zucchini, mozzarella (well‑drained), the mixed cream, herbs, pecorino, and a sprinkle of breadcrumbs, repeating for three layers. The assembled parmigiana is baked in a static oven at 185 °C for 35–40 minutes, finishing with a brief grill for browning, then rested for about 30 minutes before cutting to prevent it from falling apart. Orazio tastes the final product, describing it as moist yet compact, aromatic, and well‑balanced. He recommends wine pairings—Falanghina, Abruzzo Pecorino, Soave, Sicilian Grillo, or an unoaked Chardonnay, even a sparkling wine. The video concludes with calls to like, subscribe, check out his book "Le bufale in cucina", and join his weekly newsletter for more food and wine content.
