A pizza from the "white" category, that is, where the flatbread is not covered with tomato sauce, but only cheese is used - grated into the sauce or on its own. Although it would be more appropriate to call it "green", since both broccoli and zucchini delight us with their cheerful crunch and salad color in winter and summer, which allows you to create the illusion of vegetable abundance, even when snow is sweeping. It is better to cut zucchini very thinly, but with broccoli there is no need to chop it small, it is advisable to disassemble it into fairly large inflorescences for beauty and contrast with the velvety texture of parmesan melted in cream.
