Flor de calabaza (Squash Blossoms)
Squash blossoms are difficult to find but I found some at the Belmont Farmer's Market.
I made a salad for the kids today with some of the blossoms
Fettuccine with Squash Blossoms
In a medium sauce pan add some unsalted butter, chopped garlic and scallions. Then add thin slices of your favorite summer squash plus some corn kernels and enough chicken stock to make a light sauce. Saute until cooked through and then throw in a handful of thinly sliced squash blossoms and basil until wilted. Season to taste, adding more butter if necessary to enrich the sauce and toss with cooked fresh fettuccine.
