Zucchini is lower in calories and adds moisture.

Mix flour, salt, and eggs in a bowl until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 5-7 minutes.

Roll the dough into long ropes, then cut into small pieces.

Press each piece with a fork to create ridges.

Boil a large pot of salted water over high heat.

Add the pljukanci to the boiling water and cook until they float, about 3-5 minutes.

Drain the pljukanci and set aside.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Sauté chopped onion and garlic until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Add diced bell pepper and cook until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

Stir in chopped tomatoes, basil, oregano, and bay leaves.

Simmer the sauce for 10-15 minutes until thickened, adding sugar and black pepper to taste.

Combine the pljukanci with the sauce and toss to coat.

Serve topped with grated parmesan cheese.
