Tip:

For an even richer flavor. Try browning the butter before adding the zucchini. Heat the butter until it turns golden brown. And gives off a nutty aroma. Then proceed with the recipe. This simple step. Enhances the dish with a deeper, more complex flavor. Additionally, don’t overcrowd the mushrooms in the skillet. Giving them space ensures they brown beautifully. Rather than steaming. Which intensifies their natural umami flavor.
