ZUCCHINI STUFFED WITH RICOTTA (ZUCCHINE RIPIENE CON RICOTTA)
I found this and had to post before even trying - that way it would be here when I need it! In this dish, zucchini are stuffed with the twin stars of Calabrian cheese making: pecorino and ricotta. Flecked with tomato and mint, they are equally good eaten hot or at room temperature on a warm summer day, which is what we have almost all year long :) This recipe was first published in Saveur in Issue #113
