Cut the zucchini pulp into small pieces. Heat some olive oil in a pan and fry the pulp in it, then simmer on low heat for a few minutes. Core the olives and cut into small pieces. Add the quinoa to the zucchini pulp. Add the cream cheese, let it melt and mix well with everything, also add the olives. Season to taste with parsley, salt and pepper. When the zucchini halves are done, fill them with the quinoa mixture. Sprinkle the honey walnuts on top and put the goat cheese on top.
