Ingredients

320 gr of spaghetti

100 ml of fresh cream 
Freshly ground pepper to taste
200 gr of zucchini flowers
A clove of garlic
Salt to taste
Extra virgin olive oil to taste

Preparation

To make this dish, gently wash the zucchini flowers and remove the pistil inside. Let them dry on a clean cloth. Meanwhile, put a pot with plenty of salted water for pasta on the fire and bring it to a boil. In a large saucepan brown a little finely chopped garlic in extra virgin olive oil. Add the zucchini flowers, cover and stew over low heat for a few minutes. Remove the lid and add the fresh cream, continuing cooking always with the heat at a minimum. As soon as the water for the pasta boils, pour the spaghetti: cook and drain them al dente, transferring them to the saucepan with the sauce. Finish cooking and if necessary, add a little bit of pasta water. 

Stir in the pecorino cheese, finish with a nice ground pepper and serve immediately, creamy and fragrant!
