- 1:41Speaker 1: time so it does not stick. When the sauce is
- 1:45Speaker 1: thick and well flavored, you turn off the heat and
- 1:47Speaker 1: set it aside. Now you prepare the zucchini. Wash and
- 1:53Speaker 1: dry the zucchini using a mandolin. You slice them lengthwise
- 1:57Speaker 1: or into rounds with a thickness of two to three millimeters.

- 3:14Speaker 1: the ingredients, dividing sauce and cheeses so that each layer
- 3:17Speaker 1: is well covered. When you finish the last layer, you
