Stuffed Squash Blossoms

You can leave the baby zucchini attached for this recipe, or cook the blossoms on their own.
Yield 4 servings

Ingredients

12 large squash blossoms
1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella (optional)
1/4 onion, finely minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons melted butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1 Preheat oven to 400°F. Butter a baking dish large enough to hold the blossoms in a single layer.

2 Mix cheeses, onion, herbs and salt and pepper.

3 Carefully open the blossoms and remove the firm flower center. Stuff the blossom, then twirl ends to seal. Place in baking dish.

4 Drizzle melted butter over all. Roast in oven 12-15 minutes, until blossoms begin to get a bit golden. If zucchini is attached, pierce with fork to test for doneness.
