Ingredients
- - about 1 kg of zucchinis (suitable for 3 to 4 people)
- - thick cream (about half a jar)
- - nutmeg (to taste)
- - salt and pepper (to your preferences)
Preparation
1. Start by thoroughly washing the zucchinis, without peeling them, to retain all their flavors.
2. Cut them into chunks and cook them in water (or use a pressure cooker to save time).
3. Once cooked, let the zucchinis drain properly.
4. Then pass the pieces through a food mill to achieve a smooth consistency. (If you notice excess water in the purée, you can cook it a bit in a saucepan until it evaporates, which also warms it up.)

6. Serve the purée hot for a tasty and comforting side dish.
