Description

This creamy pasta with pumpkin flowers and zucchini is a delicious summer dish that is easy to prepare with the Thermomix®. The sweetness of the pumpkin flowers goes perfectly with the delicacy of the zucchini, creating a creamy and enveloping sauce. I love preparing it when I have guests for lunch, because it is always a success! The preparation is quick and the result is a dish full of flavor and color. An excellent alternative for a light and tasty lunch, also perfect for vegetarians. Serve it with a generous sprinkling of grated cheese for an extra touch of flavor.
