Pasta with Fried Zucchini (pasta cu la cucuzza fritta)

Main Courses

Pasta with Fried Zucchini (pasta cu la cucuzza fritta)
Pasta with Fried Zucchini (pasta cu la cucuzza fritta)
Pasta with fried zucchini is very easy to prepare summer dish and the characteristic of this dish is that the pasta is seasoned with fried zucchini and with oil that the zucchini release, fried, exclusively extra virgin.

In Sicily, it is called “pasta cu la cucuzza fritta“( pasta with fried zucchini). We use a kind of pale green courgette and if you touch it, it is a bit hairy. If not consumed as soon as it is harvested, it tends to become woody.

An extremely tasty dish that requires only 3 top-quality seasonings, the good organic extra virgin olive oil, seasonal zucchini, and “u cascavaddu vecchiu ” the aged caciocavallo cheese (some use the salted ricotta).
