Zucchini blossoms with Mascarpone Filling
Pane-Bistecca
t’s zucchini flowers time again. I found them at the market and made zucchini blossoms with mascarpone filling. I’ve already described my memories in a previous post, but every time I see blossoms like this, it takes me back to my childhood, to my Nonna’s garden. Among the chickens and garden beds were the zucchini.
Opposite was the washing fountain. A tall, brick thing with ice cold water, straight from the mountain. The laundry was washed there, still with the washboard. And we also washed our hair there. I don’t have to mention that we didn’t wash our hair every 2 days, because the water was really freezing cold!!!! Oh, again so many memories.
