Add the earlier prepared zucchini. Toss all the components together. Next, you should add Italian spices then transfer all this mixture into a platter. When transferring the mixture, you should let the extra liquid drain and remain in the bowl. Lay the Pecorino cheese on one end of the platter and drizzle more oil on top.
