Panko breaded fried zucchini is a great way to inject some veggies into pasta night. Italian seasoned and lightly fried then topped on some gnocchi is perfect!
In a large bowl, add panko, basil, oregano, salt, pepper and garlic powder. in a separate bowl whisk 2 eggs for your egg wash
Preheat oil in a pan at medium heat. Cut zucchini in to 1/4 inch slices, then dip in egg wash, bread with panko and fry; about 1 minute per side. Lay on a cook rack to drain oil. Repeat until all are done.
When zucchini is done place in the oven at the lowest temp to keep warm. Boil water and cook your marinara sauce.
Drain gnocchi, then add a few spoonful's of marinara into gnocchi. Serve in a bowl with fried zucchini, and a little more sauce. optionally garnish with fresh basil and parmesan. Enjoy!
