Spaghetti with Zucchini Flowers, Zucchini and Breadcrumbs

In the first in our series in our using zucchini flowers, I shared the method learned from my grandmother of frying the flowers. But there's so many more uses of this summer staple. Here, I will share a recipe that uses not just the zucchini flowers but also the zucchini itself for a seasonal spaghetti dish enhanced by toasted breadcrumbs and aromatics.

Buon appetito!

NOTE: I am neither a recipe person nor a trained chef. I don't measure precisely; I go by eye. I believe wholeheartedly in spending time in the kitchen with grandmothers, aunts, family cooks, and friends, those who have been cooking for decades, who go by eye, and who just know.
