Pasta with fried zucchini Sicilian

Pasta with fried zucchini Sicilian: a first typical dish of Sicilian cuisine, vegetarian and very easy to prepare, to which the caciocavallo or provolone a strictly spicy, add an extra touch. But if you love Parmigiano Reggiano DOP or pecorino cheese, they're always a great choice. Everywhere a generous sprinkling of freshly ground black pepper. In season the perfect culmination of this paste is basil, but if you prefer a fresher flavor, Mint is the one that's right for you.

What use zucchini

Alternatively, in the spring you can use romanesche zucchini, those who attacked the flower.

Is, I recommend, not too thin cut the zucchini and fry, if possible, in extra virgin olive oil. And now I leave you with this simple and delicious recipe and new pictures I took. Have a good day!
