It's summertime, and in the garden that means an abundance of courgettes. At Helen's Bay Community Garden we've planted different varieties of courgette this year, the normal green ones, the striped ones and two yellow varieties. Picking your courgettes when they're still quite young means you get the tastiest and juiciest courgettes, but you also get the flowers which you hardly ever get in any shop. And the flowers are just as good as the courgettes in my book. Their beautiful yellow colour and aromatic scent just symbolise summer for me. And my ravioli recipe really makes good use of these flowers, and the courgettes as well. It's quite a delicate dish with subtle flavours but well worth your time. And once you learn to make your own pasta you can customise this recipe and use spinach, swiss chard or anything else you fancy instead of the courgette flowers.
Thanks for watching!
