Spaghetti with Shrimp, Zucchini Blossoms, and Fried Zucchini Sticks
In summer, when zucchini thrives in the mineral rich lands all over the Campania region, their bright, colorful blossoms make a sunny appearance in many of the local specialty dishes. This tasty pasta dish, which combines the blossoms with sweet, succulent shrimp and fried zucchini sticks, I learned to make one fortuitous summer morning when I decided to visit my friends Luigi and Rosa Guarrancino at their charming restaurant, called Il Fienile, located near my home in the village of Torca in Massa Lubrense.
