  • In a bowl combine the ricotta, chopped anchovies and mozzarella and season with a drizzle of oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Mix well to create a smooth mixture.
  • In a frying pan heat some olive oil and cook the diced zucchini for about 10 minutes, adding a ladle of hot water when necessary.

  • Place the mixture in a piping bag for easy filling.
  • Remove the central pistil from the squash blossoms.

  • Lightly oil an ovenproof dish and lay the stuffed squash blossoms on it, side by side.
  • Sprinkle with breadcrumbs and drizzle with a little oil.
