I have to admit before your post and subsequent googling I wasn’t even aware too much about Tucci
-
It is not a very bold dish and it is important to get a good sear (or deep fry) on the zucchini but overall we really liked it. The provolone we had was quite mild and so in the mixture with the parmesan wasn’t too overpowering
-
Spaghetti alla Nerano - Interesting variation from CI whereas instead of deep frying the zucchini you “cook” them in the microwave for 12 minutes (to evaporate some water) and afterwards sear them in a pan to get a similar result as deep-frying but without handling large amounts of oil. Otherwise you make the creamy sauce using pasta water, butter, basil, provolone and parmesan.

During that time you prepare the filling with ground veal, onion, garlic, parsley, milk-soaked bread, egg, harissa, pistachios, feta. Once the sweet potatoes are done you half them, scrape them out and mix it with the veal filling, divide the filling in the sweet potato halves and bake for another 20 minutes. Serve with a mix of mashed avocado, cilantro, olive oil and lemon juice.
