Cacio e Pepe Breaded and Fried Zucchini
This one is for all the Trader Joe’s die hard fans. My bag of Cacio e Pepe gluten free puffs were starting to go south so I made the executive decision to turn them into some breading for some zucchini. Best decision ever!! Go make these they don’t disappoint!
