This recipe sounds amazing! When you place them in the pan, are they open end down? And when you flip them, is just to the other end or on all sides? I’m sorry, these may seem like silly questions but I’ve never cooked anything stuffed, other than in the oven.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034365797555822466.post-75869616392003042014-08-11T18:43:10.594-04:002014-08-11T18:43:10.594-04:00Dear Catherine,
I love having memories about my ch...Dear Catherine,<br />I love having memories about my childhood, seems like yesterday. They are so large especially when you are young.But I agree they are yummy and so sweet. I think the meatball stuffing helps to give it more flavor. It is a comforting food, especially on cool nights. My mom always seemed to make this in the summer August was the tradition. But they are still around in the fall, so she also made it then. Thanks for visiting and your warm comment...Have a blessed week, dear friend!

So happy that you have had this awesom...Dear Alida,<br />So happy that you have had this awesome squash before, yes they are so sweet and the texture is so nice. That must have been nice that your parents used to grow them. They should try to find the seeds again. Yes, mothers are right.....someday you should try this recipe...I think you and your children would love it. I am glad that I was able to give you some memories...Thanks dear friend, for your comment and for stopping by. I hope that you have a wonderful week ahead...<br />Dottie :)Dottiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12088546024012627842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034365797555822466.post-74829058664754423952014-08-10T11:12:54.071-04:002014-08-10T11:12:54.071-04:00Oh my..

They kind of "lost the seeds" later on and they don't seem to have them anymore.<br />They are the best zucchini ever, so sweet with an incredible texture. I used to love them so much.<br />Fabulous recipe Dottie. I have never had them stuffed. As always mamma's recipes are the best!Alidahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02852806349180621183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034365797555822466.post-49678008480704450332014-08-08T23:28:58.026-04:002014-08-08T23:28:58.026-04:00Good evening, Nee.
Thanks for a wonderful comment ...Good evening, Nee.<br />Thanks for a wonderful comment dear friend. I am so glad that you liked my post and recipe. It looks like fun trying to grow it, as I did the research for this post, I found that it grows on a vine / tree and grows downward, that is why is it so long. I had no idea....I wish you luck if you try it next year...Like you Nee, I love all squashes and this one is no different. Yes, I agree the meat and all the flavors make it so sweet. The farmers markets are so important that we frequent them as much as we can, they are our local neighbors and always have the freshest foods. Something happened to my camera, but it is fixed now..that is why I had to use the cell phone camera. Thank you for your words about my mother. She still at 85 is going strong, (God Bless her) and cooks really well. You are correct Nee, Mothers are the best and can make magic in the kitchen for sure! <br />Have a Blessed weekend as well....Dottie :) Dottiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12088546024012627842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8034365797555822466.post-69605569633670180812014-08-08T19:51:08.169-04:002014-08-08T19:51:08.169-04:00Dearest Dottie ;
What a delightful post , as yo...Dearest Dottie ; <br />What a delightful post , as you know the recipe is even better . My family loves Cucuzza , It's deliciously good , (love all squash) My neighbor grows Cucuzza , I will try next year . <br />All the ingredients makes the dish more tasty . I shop farmers markets all spring and summer , they grow organic vegetables and you can tell the difference in taste . I have a large garden , from your post , I will raise Cuczza next year , we raised two types now ... zucchini and straight neck , they freezes well . <br />I like the idea of the Cuczza being stuffed and the ingredients makes it deliciously good , do you not think so . Your photos are good and the cell phone ones are also good . <br />I also like the idea that the cooking time is not long ... for busy people that is a plus . <br />Dottie , your mother is a great cook , like most Italians mothers she can make anything taste good and tasty , many kudos to her . Thanks so much for sharing and have a blessed weekend . ~Nee~ ;-D~ Nee ~https://www.blogger.com/profile/10037585616015101052noreply@blogger.com
