Zucchini Recipes for People Who Hate (Or Love) Zucchini | Delicious Italian Zucchini Recipes
Having trouble using up unwanted zucchini? It's not the most popular vegetable, and many of us are either sick of zucchini bread or just don't like zucchini at all! But maybe the people who invented zucchini (yes, you read that right) have some secrets up their sleeves that could help us all out... Time to ask an Italian!
In today's video, my Italian wife Eva cooks me a five-course meal based around my least favorite vegetable. Can she change my mind?

All of you zucchini lovers out there: what's your favorite zucchini dish?
Zucchini soup is a great way to use a lot in one dish
*FRIED ZUCCHINI BLOSSOMS* 🙂
Unlike Harper, I like the taste of zucchini, so if it is simply prepared, then I like it best. Sunset Magazine had a technique called "butter steaming" in one of their cook books. Simply put, you melt about 2 teaspoons butter in a pan, add prepped vegetables and toss, then add a tablespoon or two of water and cover - steam until done to your liking. Season and serve.
All of them 😁
Here's an antipasto I tried made by someone from Puglia:
Half a zucchini hollowed out a bit, then grilled (I think). Then filled with a mix of tuna and ricotta, plus some balsamico vinegar on top (and maybe some parsley).
As a Greek, one of my favourite ways to eat zucchini is also very simple. Slice the zucchini into rounds about 1/4-1/3" thick. Season with salt, pepper, and granulated garlic. Also season some flour with the same spices. Dip the zucchini slices in the flour and dust off excess but don't go nuts. Fry them in oil, vegetable or olive oil, until a deep deep golden brown on both sides. Lay on paper towels to drain and enjoy. Great hot, warm, or even at room temp. Great summer side dish. The sweetness of the zuke and the saltiness and spice, along with the rich taste of the browning combine to make this a delectable dish.
Kali orexi!! (Greek for bon appetito!!)
Im Hungaryan, doing almost the same (just like snitzel) after you flower it put it in whisked eggs , andd then in breadcrumbs and then fry them. "Mind a tíz újjad megnyalod utána!"
In Ukraine we have a similar dish, but using only salt and pepper for spices when frying and then putting garlic mayo and dill on top.
I’m from the Appalachian mountains in the USA, and this is how most people I know make it also. Love the stuff.
This is favorite way to eat zucchini too. I dip into a horseradish dipping sauce 😊
ymmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
This truly is quite a spectacularly informative video. 5 recipes in 20-minutes is sheer culinary genius. Brava Eva. And Harper is apparently the luckiest man alive being able to eat these wonderful dishes.
As an Italian girl and a classical musician, I’m loving the recent musical additions to your videos :)
Me too.😊
My favorite zucchini recipe is stuffed zucchini! Just cut the zucchini down the middle, core it, mix said core with olive oil, parmesiano, bread crumbs, pepper, etc, and fill the halves back up with the filling, and then bake! It's pretty good, and how my mother convinced my sister and me to eat zucchini (though at first we just ate the filling).
Zucchini boats! I love them too. Also pan-fried (like at 5:43) and zoodles. I had to teach myself though because my mom only made zucchini bread or tried to hide shredded zucchini in chocolate cake, neither of which I would eat.
@@pompe221 Shredded zucchini rends the cakes moist and soft. You should try.
@@beatrizmedina_mabe I have tried. Pass. Thank you, though.
Yesssss !!! I forgot about this! My grandmother used to make this all the time
yes I mix my filling with a little cooked sausage (i precook it and crumble, its not a lot)
Eva is such a gem - making all these delicious dishes. I was soooo hoping she was gonna make Maria Stuarda 😍 im sure they taste just as delicious as they look like. Eva never disappoints. 🤌 Brava!
She’s a diamond
Brava....mangia 🇮🇹
Ok thanks for. Never making it clear what the base cheese 😅was peccerro and what ELES? Any more of this and I am deleting you
@@RHDEM They have the links to the recipes above in the description :)
She does EVERYTHING by hand and makes it not look like work. She calls it "simple." lol Not in my book. She's amazing.
The integration of the music and editing this week was a real step up. Well done, and whatever you tried to do differently is certainly working! Keep it up!
Agreed, the lighting and sound were superb as well.
Musica azzeccatissima! Video molto piacevole da ascoltare!
Love the classic music in the videos.. keep it going
we also felt like music elevated this video - very well done!!!
what I like about Eva is how he is treating the food, she touches everything with a lot of delicacy and respect !
I made what I call "Zapple Crisp" and served it to a group of ladies tonight. It tastes exactly like apple crisp, but has no apples in it...only zucchini slices that had been cooked for a few minutes in lemon juice, then with cinnamon and nutmeg and other ingredients. Topped with whipped cream, they thought it was delicious. :)
Your recipe?
😃.. fuuun
No way! That’s crazy. Got a recipe to share please?
Did you tell them?
My favorite zucchini dish is what my nonna called “Dorati”. Just sliced, dipped in flour and fried. Sprinkle of grated pecorino on top. Great warm or cold.
I love zucchini fries - just sliced, covered with some kind of breadcrumbs or seasoned flour (maybe with egg if you feel so inclined) and then baked or fried… then season them with any kind of delicious stuff: I love them with parmigiano, sea salt flakes and rosemary - but the sky is the limit
My grandmother also made something similar. So simple and so good.
Oh yeah.....
I want to try this. Sliced how thickly? Like a potato chip?
@@jpp7783 a bit thicker. Maybe 1/2 inch?
Thank you for all the wonderful recipies with zucchine. My mom used to make italian mashed potatoes using olive oil and zucchine which went really well together and were delicious. Love and blessings from Toronto, Canada
If u want write in italian is zucchine 😉
@@ilarya8463 the sad part is I am Italian lol, just a terrible speller. Thank you❤
Ooh, thank you for that idea! Potatoes (and other starches) are off the menu now for me, so mashed zucchini would be a great substitute.😃👍
@@annamariaayyad2891
Haha I teach English and am a horrible speller, I tell the kids it’s the definition of irony, they laugh.
@@rhonda6791 lolol 🙂
My favorite zucchini recipes include zucchini lasagna for a low carb alternative to my original lasagna and my homemade pizza sauce. I jam-pack my pizza sauces with zucchini and blend it up - It is a great way to get extra vegetables in the diets of the picky eaters of my household. I use zucchini is almost EVERYTHING, it is such a versatile vegetable even if you dislike it plain (I also am not a fan of zucchini just on its own)
It's LasagnE ,not LasagnA
I am a retired chef de cuisine. I really enjoy watching yours videos. I was exposed to a number of these recipes throughout my career. Watching you both make these videos is great! Thank you both!
Thanks for your recipes Eva!!! I have had zucchini all my life. As a child my mother would make a pureed soup of zucchini and fresh peas with formaggino. My grandmother would make a dish made with strips of zucchini coated in flour and egg and deep fried and layered with a light marinara sauce, fresh basil and parmigiano like a lasagna that would be eaten at room temperature. I also love pizza bianca with thinly sliced zucchini, potato, onion, oregano and parmigiano.
Ok, so my pizza last night wasn't inauthentic. The zuccini was not sliced thinly though, it was just cut up thicker than a julienne
Love zucchini, we slice it very thinly (into ribbons with a mandolin or julienne/sprialise) and saute with white beans and lemon juice. On it's own as a side dish or you can add pasta for a more substantial meal.
we do something very similar except with fresh broad beans and garlic and cilantro.will try with white beans though as sounds nice
I had to search out this video because I realized that in time, Ava's method for partially dehydrating zucchini has really changed the way I use this vegetable. Grateful for the influence!
I love how your videos get to the point and you include the recipes. Nothing like home cooked Italian food.
I’ve made pasta ala nerano before and it’s great. Thanks for all the rest of these recipes I haven’t heard of before, Im excited to try them. The one zucchini dish I’ve made before that is great is a Palestinian dish called Lib Koosa.
And thank you for your incredibly informative BMW vids…you sir have saved me a fortune!
Lib Koosa/Lib el Kousa is Lebanese.
My favorite way to eat zucchini is with lasagna. When I was on Keto my mom would make a lasagne with zucchini instead of the lasagna pasta. Great substitute for a lot of other pasta dishes too. It can absorb so many flavors
I make a dish we call Pizzagna (Rachel Ray 30 minute meal recipe, basically it is a pot lasagna but you use pizza sauce & your favorite pizza toppings) but with Zucchini instead of noodles. Very yummy!
that's one step towards moussaka
love all the different italian recipes you 2 create, and excellent choice of background music
I LOVE THIS!!! We grow Costata Romanesco zucchini AND Zucchino Rampicante on our organic farm. I LOVE zucchini and we never grow enough! Here’s what we make…
1. Dehydrated zucchini chips
2. Zoodles (spiralized zucchini “noodles”) marinara using Eva’s tomato sauce recipe!!!
3. Cream of spinach, zucchini and broccoli soup.
4. Zucchini pickles water bath canned
5. Stuffed zucchini boats
6. Sautéed zucchini, yellow squash, carrots and broccoli with olive oil, garlic and Parmesan
7. Raw vegan PIZZA CRUST (recipe from Raw Advantage channel)!!!!
I believe there are two types of zucchini, Dutch and Italian, each with multiple varieties. The fruit of the Dutch type has a spongy core around the seeds, and is the type favoured by supermarkets here in the UK. If these were the only type of zucchini someone had experienced I could totally understand if they didn't like them. Of the Italian varieties I have grown my favourite is definitely the Romanesco, a striped and lightly ridged zucchino from Rome with a nutty flavour.
so good!! the supermarket ones are called zucchine nere in italy
I was going to say the same! I'm Italian and here in the UK I really struggle finding the striped ones I was used to. The black courgettes are ok to have as a veggie in your pantry when you're bored or lazy, they're really not worth the struggle.
@@dianapohe noticed there's zucchini in other dishes too such as her farfalle
In Ireland the closest thing to American zucchini I found are courgette
Good to hear because that is what I am growing this year!
@@Javaman92 should the orange flowers ever bloom, don't you dare throwing them, they are delicious 😍😍 look for "fiori di zucca" recipes
I love zucchini. Can't get enough of it. I use them in Chinese, Japanese and Korean dishes often. I love them in soups and stews, blanched and mixed with seasonings to be served as cold side dishes in summer (Korean hobak namul), or simply sautéed with soy sauce, sugar, garlic, salt and pepper, finished with a bit of sesame oil. And, of course, I love it with pasta. A simple pasta dish I make consists of sautéed sliced zucchini, chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped basil and pine nuts mixed into linguine.
These dishes look amazing. I will definitely have to try them out.
?Sorry I didn’t type anything.
Love these recipes! I've made the zucchini tarts twice in the past two weeks for my wife. They are so good!! Thanks, Eva and Harper.
Great video! These recipes look fantastic and I will give them a try. Thanks!
Thank you guys for the traditional zucchini recipes. I love Mama Rosa's recipe as I am familiar with a version of it from my mother. I also love batter fried zucchini flowers.
My favorite zucchini dish? It isn’t Italian, but it’s Argentine. Simple but delicious. Grill a ribeye steak. While that’s grilling, blend together a chimichurri sauce out of some fresh Italian parsley, fresh garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and crushed red pepper. Then toss some sliced zucchini, carrots, and red bell beepers in olive oil and lots of Italian seasoning. Take the steak off the grill and grill the vegetables for just long enough for them to get charred, but still crispy. Serve up and spread the chimichurri sauce over the steak.
Wonderful dish I love to make for the summer! And that Italian seasoning and olive oil marinade make the zucchini perfectly flavorful.
Thank you Eva , I will be making all of these wonderful dishes. Thank you for sharing.
This was great! Thanks so much for sharing! ❤🎉😊
All 5 looked amazingly delicious. Will definitely try, thank you for these recipes 😍
Fried or in Minestrone. I would call Mama's Rosa's dish, "stewed" zucchini. Looks delish. One of my favorite vegetable dishes' is stewed okra, another vegetable that a lot of people don't like.
I liked stewed okra & tomatoes. :)
@Rodrigo Santos Valeriano I don't know a thing about Brazilian food but I imagine it's probably wonderful.
Okra Gumbo, served alone or over rice - yum!
My youngest daughter loved it so much, but couldn't say "okra gumbo" so for her, it was "oka bongo"
All the kids loved seasoned breaded fried eggplant (or zucchini, whichever was ripe at the time)!
Thanks for posting these recipes, they all look amazing! 🍆😋
I needed this video! I have a bunch of zucchini coming up in the garden and was looking for different recipes as to how to cook it in different ways! Your timing couldn't be better! Thanks!
Always inspiring! So simple so fresh so delicious!
Probably the "Maria Stuada" dessert received his name beacause of Donizetti's Opera (early XIX century) based on the Schiller's text and/or to homage Maria Malibran (the opera singer who "nailed" the main role in the premiere)... My favorite zucchini recipe: stuffed (with minced meat or chicken or fish and shrimps, mixed with lots of bechamel and cheese)
It's possible that the pastry and the play were just collateral effects of the same cause. There was actually a whole truckload of operas in Italy about or involving Mary, Queen of Scots, but even before those, an Italian play about Mary QOS was popular, as was the Friedrich Schiller play. 19th Century Italians just had a fascination with Stuart and Tudor Britain. Historical fiction is ever popular I guess.
My favorite: A zucchini sliced into rounds, dredged in flour with salt & pepper & then beaten egg & fried. I also have a friend who regularly makes me blueberry zucchini bread.
These dishes look great as well. It makes plenty of sense that my Italian ancestors would come up with so many great dishes,
That aside, how can anyone not like zucchini?
PS: Great music for each of the recipes as well.
Blueberry zucchini bread sounds incredible. Wow.
Same here favorite is fried , my dad always dredged in flour then dipped in egg wash or buttermilk ; put in mixture of half flour and corn meal, fried till crispy then salt and pepper. Yummy. He also stewed with tomatoes was good .
Delicious- but lots of work
I cook Italian food- NOT Italian American food, so I truly appreciate the recipes. Signora, you already know your food is MAGNIFICO. But is the LOVE AND HUMOR you share that makes your videos BETTER than ANY of the network cooking shows. In these turbulent times watching your videos always lighten my day. Grazie Mille!
You guys Are great! Love the recipes and the video editing, the food looks great and I could listen to her talk all day.
I grow and can buy many different squash varieties here in south Texas from farmers markets and roadside produce stands.
For zucchini I like it the most when it is young and sweet maybe 6 to 8 inches long to harvest.
Cut it into 'coins' about twice the thickness as the second recipe, dredge lightly in seasoned flour and then shallow fry in olive oil. Sprinkle with flaky salt and you have a great side dish.
This was really good,most of what she did I have never seen before but it was quite simple and easy to make. Having only grown up with American version of Italian foods,this show has made be rethink Italian pasta. And cooking.
I really enjoyed this video. Glad I ran into you guys!
I love Zucchini boats! cut in half, scooped out like a canoe, and mixing the scooped out flesh with mince, tomato sauce, breadcrumbs and cheese and baking in the oven 🤌🏼
go for a marrow.
Wow, what a great episode! I have to admit that I love zucchini in all forms, and I can't wait to try some of these. I was also so excited to see the recipe for Spaghetti alla Nerano because on my first trip to Italy years ago, this was the very first dish I ate there! I had no idea what it was called until this video, but that zucchini pasta dish was so delicious that I told people about it for years, lol.
17:51 Oh those are *so* cute! I would NEVER have thought of a zucchini tart. However, pumpkin, which is also a squash, is used to make pie! I definitely want to try this!
My favorite zucchini (the Lebanese variety not the Italian one, but in all honesty they don't differ that much in taste) dish of all times and probably one my favorite dishes ever is a humble zucchini fritter. In Lebanon, like in several other surrounding countries, we stuff a lot of vegetables with meat and rice, and in the case of zucchini, you are left with a lot of its core content. As we hate waste (at least people were smarter and more frugal about food in the past), they invented a dish with the left over core. The core material is very wet, so it's salted and left to drain, sometimes overnight in the fridge, then it is mixed with eggs, parsley, onions, dried mint, salt, allspice, and a bit of cinnamon. A bit of flour is often added to give the mix some body. Then the fritters are shallow fried and served with yogurt (mixed with cucumber, mint and garlic). For me it is a heavenly combination, and zucchinis are not a filler in this case, because if you swap the vegetable with something else, the flavor and texture change a lot!
That sounds really good. I 'll try
The ravioli has become a favorite this summer! We love the simplicity and the beauty of the dish. Thank you for sharing! I’ve learned so much from Eva and Harper in such a short time. Oh and I can’t forget, Mama Rosa! I’m so glad I found Pasta Grammar!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Love zucchini. Frittelle di Zucchini are my favourite; as is zucchini in a frittata.
Yum, I'm going to give all of these a try, they all look delish. We really like zucchini sauted with red onions and mushrooms, olive oil and balsamic vinegar on top of mashed potatoes.
All dishes looked really nice. Great job!
Spectacular episode! Gonna make these.
Summer is here, so PLEEEEZE show us how to make lemon spaghetti which is supposed to be Italians' favoured meal on scorching hot summer days, PLEEEEZE......
The RUclips channel Vincenzo’s plate has a recipe for pasta al limone and it’s delicious.
Thank you!!!!!
I love how Eva doesn't have a lot of unnecessary cooking gadgets. I would have pulled out the mandoline to slice that zucchini, but not Eva because she knows how to do it with a knife. Brava!
Nothing wrong with mandolins though. I have one. It so useful.
Always so exciting when the summer squashes start growing. After a few weeks the excitement wans. Instead of leaving flaming bags of you know what, ringing the doorbell and running off, it's bags of zucchini in my neighborhood. I can't wait! As always, good company and great cooking, you two!
I am always SO amazed by your videos! The effort you put on each of them is really outstanding! Love ya!
These vegetable compilation videos are really useful. I love them! Are you planning on making more? like on carrots, leeks, cabbages, bell peppers, tuscan kale, mushrooms or other veg?
Buongiorno Harper and Eva. I love stuffing the zucchini flowers and shallow fry with a light batter. Yummmm
Molto buoni 😋
WOW, thanks for the ideas!
So much for another great video and some great Italian recipes Yum Yum. I have never had any of these, so they’re all new to me so glad you shared how to put them together. They were easy and very cost-effective.
Didn’t know Pasta alla Nerano was a thing and then it popped everywhere in the web. Gave it a go and the nutty but sweet fried zucchini flavor.. oh me oh my. One of the simplest yet best recipes ever ❤
I love zucchini but I think I will love them even more after trying these in my kitchen. This was amazing as always.
I made the Maria Stuarda tarts for a party and everyone loved them! This was such a unique and wonderful dessert. Thank you for sharing it!
Yum yum !! I’m gonna make this👍 thank you!
I love every episode and thank you for trying to convert those of us who really hate zucchini. Also, Eva's glorious HAIR!!! She is such a beautiful and gifted lady!
The operative word here being TRYING.
@@redmr2na LOL, it hasn't happened here, either!
@@giraffesinc.2193 Zucchini is the most worthless plant the good Lord created. As soon as I find a use for that wretched vegetable human kind will never eat it again. When we find a way to extract power from it, we'll burn that shit for fuel.
@@giraffesinc.2193 it's the one plant on this Blue Green Marble that needs to be put in to extinction A.S.A.F.P!
@@redmr2na 🤣😂🤣 I can't disagree!
My favourite dish with zucchini is definitely the fried ones. You basically cut them down to circles then bread them and fry them and they are delicious! You can find them in any tavern in greece as they are traditional here.
Loved this video…..thank you. And great choice of music.
Beautifully produced! Bravissimo!
Oh my gosh all these dishes look amazing, Eva you're an amazing chef and teacher. I make Zucchini & Potato Stew and I add Peperoni, it's incredible. Harper you're a lucky man.
Ahhhh I just made Eva's zucchini raviolo. It is DELICIOUS! I'm glad I made two because I had a lot of cheese! It ended up being my dinner. EXCELLENT recipe! Thank you, Eva!!
My favorite zucchini dishes:
1. Quickly fry zucchini matchsticks and almond slivers then fold into shaved pecorino
2. Grill zucchini slices, top with toasted pine nuts and shaved pecorino, squeeze of lemon and drizzle of olive oil with torn basil
As a Chef and a lover of all things Italian. You two make me so Happy!
Harper - have you tried putting zucchini slices on a barbeque and grilling them? Zucchini slices grilled on a barbeque taste fantastic and they do not need any oil or much oil to grill. You need to grill the zucchini slices on both sides for the nice grilled effect to taste good. Eggplant taste good grilled the same way.
This type of cooking simple cooking at its finest!!!
I personally like to keep its simple with sauté or roasted zucchini in olive oil and a bit of garlic. Add whatever else you like to it. I just love your channel!! You two are so cute!!
PS I love the classical music playing while Eva is cooking. It's so peaceful!
*New Subscriber* I love how you take such care with the food. I could watch you cook all day. 🙏❤
Everything looks amazing!
As a lover of zucchini, I need to try all of these recipes! Grew up eating breaded and fried zucchini topped with a light marinara. Something that every southern Italian family seemingly made. My mother’s family always talked about “cucuzza” which I now understand is a type of squash and was used in a dish called “pasta cucuzza e patate.” Always wanted to learn how to make this.
Great recipes! We like zucchini casserole. It’s an old family recipe made with grated zucchini, saltine cracker crumbs ,eggs, and cheese. With some garlic,salt and pepper.
Omgoodness. All Looks amazing
Have to try these dishes, thank the both of you 😋 😘
Zucchini can be used in most recipes you'd typically use pumpkin for; it's not always going to work, but pumpkin pie with zucchini used instead is pretty tasty.
Fav Dish: This is going to sound weird, maybe. When I was growing up, the State Fair always had someone selling beer-batter dipped deep fried zucchini with a side of ranch dressing. It was AMAZING!
like fried pickles!
Mmmmm...anything beer battered and deep fried by someone else at a State Fair is amazing. Have you ever had beer battered/deep fried cheese curds??????
Definitely want to try those recipes!!!
The music, the Italian accent, the recipes - all divine. Grazie mille!
I love plain, fresh zucchini, sliced in disks, and sautéed in butter and olive oil. I will try all of these recipes eventually. Thanks to you, both!
I make spaghetti with zucchini quite often. I also make the potted version with potatoes and onions, tomato. I love this as a side dish with some crusty bread. No I do not add breadcrumbs or cheese. Just a drizzle of olive oil. I have also mixed this with a shorter pasta and then add cheese. You both are so nice.
I love this type of video! Showcases the versatility of veggies!
Great production, very professional! (not to mention wonderful recipes that I must try)
As a kid I didnt want to try Zucchini that our mother had in her garden. She won me over with Zucchini Bread and her delicious Chocolate Zucchini Bundt Cake that was so moist and didnt need anything else. She eventually added Zucchini to more dishes as we grew up and we loved it. Great episode and enjoyed going down memory lane watching this. Thank you ❤️
I love zucchini. When I have too much or one gets a bit big, I love to slice them in discs, lay them out on a baking sheet, salt& pepper, sprinkle some seasoned bread crumbs & cheese, not forgetting the Parmesan. You just bake them until the cheese melts and the zucchini is still crunchy. Such a lovely quick snack.
We love the music on this program! The zucchini recipes look awesome!
great vid.i love the music,& more wonderful food & recipes.
More Momma Rosa recipes please! That looks soo good!
Ciao ragazzi! Quello che amo e che ha fatto sì che mi iscrivessi al vostro canale è la contestualizzazione storica che date alle ricette, trovo sia ciò che vi mette su un piano superiore a qualsiasi altro canale di cucina, oltre alla bontà delle ricette proposte. È proprio vero che alcuni piatti dicono molto della storia del nostro Paese ed è per questo che la cucina per noi è così importante, ci unisce, ci dà senso di appartenenza ed è motivo di riconoscimenti nel mondo. Le tradizioni e la storia attorno ai piatti vanno assolutamente preservate.
Un saluto ❤️
Grazie mille! ❤️
Love the chemistry. And , of course, the recipes.
OMG! That second dish looks so awesome ❤!
Great job Eva, as usual! My favorite zucchini dish is pasta with fried zucchini and ricotta salata. It's a Sicilian dish we make with our Sicilian zucchini, the "white" (light green ones). It is amazing, simple and yet tasting. The ricotta salata (salted) and those sicilian fried zucchini (which are much more sweeter than normal zucchini) are the perfect match to bring joy to the taste buds. For real... I'm gonna make it tomorrow, I'm already craving it!!! Eva, your mama dish is so similar to a pasta my mom makes all the time. She boils the zucchini with some tomato sauce and put pasta in eat, it is creamy and spectacular because we add ricotta salata in it as well. That's my 4 years old favorite pasta dish so the tradition continues!! I don't know if it pretty tipical in Sicily, for sure it has been in our family for more than 65 years
The zucchini ravioli I must try, that’s a new one for me. I always put zucchini in my omelette and add it into lasagna without tomato sauce, along with mushrooms. Today I stuffed the zucchini flowers with mozzarella and fried them in a light pastella. They are always a big hit in my family. Please buy Eva a mandolin. Will make all her slicing work a breeze! Thanks for the great video. 💜
A dear friend from Capri told how she could not understand why the women in her hometown would not even try using a potato peeler (as we call the simple implement) to remove peelings of potatoes, zucchine, etc. They insisted on using a knife, which is more time consuming, wastes more of the flesh, and is potentially more dangerous. And here I see Eva using a knife, too! Why??
I'm not sure she needs a mandolin--I'm so amazed at the way she is able to make those beautifully thin slices so perfectly!! 😊
I just found your channel today and I am in love with it!!! What a delightful and informative video journey!! I am Italian and my Grandmother was from Calabria on my Mothers side. My Grandfather on my Fathers side was from Sicily. I am so excited to try these dishes and to explore unique authentic Italian food!! Thank you for this gift that you give to me today!
I’ll be making everything 😋 thank you ❤
Favorite summer vegetable dish was a stewed zucchini (or cucuzza), onion, peppers, tomatoes, wine and basil. My grandmother and mom called it giambotta.
ciambott’
My favorite zucchini recipe is a very simple. Just cut into strips, coat in oil and seasoning of choice and bake in the oven. It makes a great side dish on its own or put some in a sandwich.
Very interesting recipes, a real goodness coming from various parts of our fantastic Italy. I'll try them out especially the ravioli ones. Thanks to both of you
