The history of Vegetable Parmesan with zucchini noodles dates back to the 1980s when health-conscious chefs in Italy sought to create a lighter, gluten-free alternative to the traditional pasta-based dish. This innovative twist quickly gained popularity in the Mediterranean region, particularly in coastal towns known for their abundance of fresh zucchini. Renowned chefs like Mario Batali and Lidia Bastianich have since popularized the dish in the United States, incorporating their own unique flair. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in farm-to-table restaurants that prioritize fresh, high-quality ingredients. The key to a delicious zucchini noodle Vegetable Parmesan lies in the perfect balance of flavors in the marinara sauce and the golden, crispy texture of the parmesan crust. For a unique twist, some chefs also incorporate a variety of roasted vegetables to add depth to the dish.
