The zucchine season is upon us and there is no better way to experiment in the kitchen by cooking delicious zucchini-inspired dishes.
Zucchini (or courgettes) are literally small pumpkins (zucche in Italian), hence zucchine (with “ine” added to mean something small). Although we often tend to use just one type of zucchini, the one we find in supermarkets, there are hundreds of different types which differ in taste, colour, shape and texture, but they all come from the Cucurbita pepo or cucurbita moschata family.
Here I would like to introduce you to 3 different zucchini varieties I tend to use in my kitchen during the summer time - especially when I make pasta of course, as well as suggesting how you can combine them with other delicious dishes.
