Wash the zucchini, remove the stem, and halve lengthwise. Peel out the flesh.

Halve the avocados, remove the pits, and scoop out the flesh, mashing it with a fork. Season with salt, pepper, crushed garlic, and cayenne pepper. Dry-roast the pine nuts in a pan and add to the avocado mixture. Stir in the quark. Place the zucchini halves in a baking dish, pour in the avocado mixture, and sprinkle with the grated Grana.
