Zucchini alla crema

Zucchini alla crema is a traditional dish originating from Piedmont. It's made with a combination of zucchini, butter, heavy cream, fresh or dried rosemary, salt, and pepper. The zucchini are trimmed, washed, and cut into pieces, which are then sprinkled with salt to yield the surplus moisture. The pieces are then cooked in butter, seasoned with salt and pepper, and mixed with heavy cream and rosemary. The dish is cooked over high heat for a few minutes until the cream reduces to sauce consistency. Zucchini alla crema is served while still hot as an accompaniment to other dishes. If properly prepared, the dish should have a pronounced flavor of rosemary.
