INGREDIENTS

  • 5 medium courgettes
  • courgette flowers
  • 2 eggs
  • 70 g grated parmesan cheese
  • 5 anchovy fillets
  • 50 g of ricotta
  • beaten egg for brushing, sweet paprika and sesame seeds to taste
  • extra virgin olive oil
  • salt
  • 1 clove of garlic optional

PROCEDURE

  • Grate the courgettes with a grater with large holes. Sauté them with extra virgin olive oil and the garlic clove for a few minutes and season with salt.
  • Let it cool and then in a large bowl mix it with the grated parmesan, the well-drained ricotta, the eggs, the salt (don't overdo it if you add the anchovies). Add the anchovy fillets in oil cut into small pieces.
  • Roll out the puff pastry into a mould and prick the bottom with the prongs of a fork.
  • Spread the mixture and level it. Fold the edges and brush them with the beaten egg.
  • Place the open courgette flowers on the surface after having washed them, patted them dry and removed the central part.
  • Optionally, you can place sesame seeds and sweet paprika in the center.
  • Bake at 170° for about 30 minutes (until the edges are golden brown; to prevent the central part from getting too dark, if necessary, you can cover only that with tin foil).
