There is a culture and a history for every cut of Italian pasta. The filled pasta session offers plenty of space for imagination.
Today we make a dish that includes sea and land, with a touch of color offered by pumpkin flowers.
Features:
The pumpkin flowers are yellow with orange streaks, with petals that almost resemble lilies. They are the most famous edible flowers in the kitchen.
An ingredient derived from pumpkins and zucchini, which allows various recipes: fried in batter, stuffed in the oven, on pizza or with pasta.
Notes: the flower comes from both pumpkin and zucchini. The first ones are bigger and pot-bellied, while the zucchini ones have a longer shape, a more orange color, and a more delicate scent.
