Ingredients

• ✓ cayenne pepper
• zucchini blossom
• goat cheese
• gruyere cheese
• egg yolk
• black pepper
• self-rising flour
• cornstarch
• water
• vegetable oil
• all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. 1 Gather all ingredients. Gently rinse the squash blossoms to remove any dirt or debris; remove the stamens as they are bitter and not edible.
2. 2 Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Prepare a large bowl of ice-cold water. Drop squash blossoms into the boiling water until slightly wilted, 30 to 45 seconds; lift with a slotted spoon and immediately place into the cold water to chill. Remove and drain on paper towels.
3. 3 Make the filling: Mix goat cheese, Gruyère, egg yolk, pepper, and cayenne together in a bowl until smooth. Spoon into a 1-quart resealable plastic bag, squeeze out the air, and seal the bag. Cut a small corner off the bag.
4. 4 Gently insert the cut corner of the bag into the open end of a blossom and pipe in about 1 tablespoon filling, making sure it fills all the way to the bottom. Lift petals up and drape over filling to cover completely. Fold any excess petals over the top of the filled blossom to keep them out of the way. Repeat to fill remaining blossoms. Refrigerate until cheese is set and firm, at least 30 minutes.
5. 5 Meanwhile, make the batter: Combine flour and cornstarch in a mixing bowl. Whisk in ice-cold water, a little at a time, until batter is smooth and has the thickness of pancake batter.
6. 6 Heat 1 inch oil in a cast iron skillet to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). A drop of batter carefully dripped into the oil should sizzle immediately.
7. 7 Remove squash blossoms from the refrigerator and dust lightly with all-purpose flour on all sides. Shake off excess flour and dip blossoms in batter. Let excess batter drip off.
8. 8 Gently lay about six coated squash blossoms on their sides in hot oil and cook until pale golden brown, about 1 minute on the first side and 30 seconds to 1 minute on the remaining sides.
9. 9 Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and repeat to fry remaining blossoms. Let cool slightly before serving.

Instructions

1. 1 Gather all ingredients.

• ✓ cayenne pepper
• basil
• egg
• ricotta cheese
• salt
• parmesan cheese
• all-purpose flour
• butter

Instructions

1. 1 Briefly blanch basil leaves in simmering water, about 20 seconds. Transfer immediately to a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking. Drain on towels. Place basil in bowl of a blender. Add eggs. Blend until basil is blended in and mixture achieves an even green color with flecks of basil.
2. 2 Place ricotta in a mixing bowl. Add basil/egg mixture, salt, cayenne, Parmesan cheese, and flour. Thoroughly mix together using a spatula; whisk mixture to ensure ingredient are evenly blended. Cover and refrigerate until chilled and firm, about 2 hours.
3. 3 Scoop out a small portion of dough using a teaspoon. Using a second spoon, shape into a rounded oval. Repeat until you have enough gnocchi for a batch, about 6 or so.
4. 4 Bring a large pot of salted water to a simmer. Drop shaped gnocchi in batches into pot as you form them. After a minute or so they will rise to the surface. Continue simmering until they spring back to the touch when you remove one from the water to test it, 2 to 3 more minutes. Transfer to a plate with a slotted spoon to cool. Repeat with the remaining dough.
5. 5 Optional step: Melt butter in a skillet until bubbling. Add cooked gnocchi and brown on each side. Serve with a dusting of grated Parmesan cheese and a drizzle of the butter from the pan.

Instructions

1. 1 Line a rimmed baking sheet pan with plastic wrap.
2. 2 Combine milk and salt in a saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to almost a simmer. As soon as bubbles start to break the surface, gradually whisk in semolina until mixture thickens, about 20 seconds.

5. 5 Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a round, shallow baking dish.
6. 6 Cut out circles of semolina dough with a 2 3/4-inch diameter cookie cutter. Use damp hands to gather and flatten any dough scraps. Press scraps between plastic wrap and cut as many more circles as possible.
7. 7 Arrange gnocchi in a circular, overlapping pattern in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle melted butter over top and spread evenly with a brush. Sprinkle with cayenne pepper and cover with remaining Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
8. 8 Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes.
