Well, I can now say that the Christmas Holidays after today are finished. Today is another big holiday in Italy The Epiphany (Befana).

This day was the visit of the Three Kings to the Christ child. This is also the day that children in Italy receive their stocking filled with small gifts and chocolates, delivered not by Santa Claus but by a witch named “La Befana”, legend has it, that she flies around looking for the baby Jesus and that is why she brings gifts to children. Or another good excuse to eat.

Although in Italy you never need an excuse to eat, especially a Grilled Zucchini Pizza.Tomorrow everything is back to normal and kids go back to school (my daughter not happy but mother is!). But today we will share a meal with family and friends.

It’s almost what you could call a mini Christmas, but more relaxed. The usual Baked Pasta or Lasagna, a Meat Dish and of course Dessert will be served.

It’s amazing sometimes how much can change in a year. Last year we were four under one roof. This year with our eldest daughter in Canada we are three.

Last year my mother-in-law was in perfect health, this year not so much. So we will eat together with a few friends and family members.

A lighter lunch will be served. Before I came to Italy when I thought of Pizza it was always Pizza with a tomato sauce base.

Since I have been in Italy I have come to love a White Pizza, which means no tomato sauce, just mozzarella cheese. White pizza or what we love to eat, which is a Grilled Zucchini Pizza, a favourite here.

A delicious Pizza Dough   drizzled with a little olive oil, baked until golden, then topped with slices of grilled zucchini and shredded mozzarella and returned to the oven until the cheese is melted to perfection.

When it is finished baking I love to top it with some shredded raw rucola (rocket salad.) It’s a very yummy pizza, a must try. Buon Appetito!

      Hi Rosemary. I made up a shopping list this morning and put zucchini on it. Aside from using a spiralizer so that I can use them in place of pasta, I’m going to try this recipe. Looks yummy.
