GOAT CHEESE-STUFFED ZUCCHINI BLOSSOMS WITH ZUCCHINI NOODLES
Steps:
- For the blossoms: Heat the oil to 375 degrees F in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat.
- Combine the goat cheese, Parmesan, parsley and chives in a medium bowl. Season with salt. Spoon the mixture into a piping bag; cut a hole in the bag. Gently pipe the mixture into the zucchini blossoms and pinch the ends together a bit.
- Whisk together the flour and white wine in a medium bowl. Working in batches so you don¿t crowd the pot, dip each blossom into the batter and then carefully place in the hot oil. Cook until lightly puffed and golden, about 3 minutes. Remove the blossoms from the oil and drain on paper towels. Season with salt immediately.
- For the noodles: Coat a large skillet with some olive oil, add the anchovy, garlic, oregano and some red pepper flakes, and turn the heat to medium. When the garlic gets brown and aromatic, remove it from the skillet and discard. Add the tomatoes, some salt, and 1/4 cup water. Cook, shaking the pan occasionally, until the water is reduced by about half.
- Remove the skillet from the heat, add the zucchini noodles and toss until just wilted. Taste and season.
- Toss the arugula with some olive oil and salt and divide it among 4 dinner plates. Top the arugula with some zucchini pasta and 2 zucchini blossoms, shave some Parmesan over the tops, and serve.

Steps:
- 1. boil noodles as directed. when about done the way u like cool off under cold water using a strainer to cool them down. so they wont cook more than that.
- 2. in a large pan, biggest u have on hand. add a bit of water. just enough to cover the bottom. the water helps to cook the meat without it sticking or burning. but, all the more keep an eye on it. and add the turkey meat. when cooking, separate the meat with ur spatula. and after it starts to break snd crumble. sir it till done. add spices and onion. and cook a few more minutes. making sure that the spices and onion are getting well mixed in. set aside.
- 3. in a large glass pan, which is best cuz of non stickness factor. add some of one or both sauces to bottom of pan. making sure to cover it on the bottom a little. i do thsi, so the sauce is everywhere, literally. because most of the time it doesnt go where its supposed to.
- 4. now for the fun. grab one of the noodles and stuff it with the meat mixture. at least two spoonfulls in each. basically depending on how big ur noodles are and how stuffed u want them. setting of course each one in the pan when filled. (if u cooked the whole box of noodles, and that alot. make sure to have a count of how many u cooked before u pick ur pan to use. i used the biggest i have as i believe i said. because this family can eat alot of these. LoL.)
- 5. once all noodles are filled. cover generously with sauce. we love alot of sauce. but do as u please with urs. (especially making sure to cover the sudes of the noodles at the edges of the pan. dont want a dry noodle.)
- 6. set in oven and heat until the sauce looks sorta dry. hope u underatand this. u dont want it totally dry. just basicallly heated thoroughly.
- 7. once this is done, take out and add the amont of shredded cheese u like.
- 8. set back in oven and cook until cheese is melted.
- 9. serve. the reason i said it varies. is because of the individual needs of the people eating. i usually use about 24 noodles for to feed a family of 7. but, with mine its more like the entire box. which i believe is about more than 30 noodles. use ur best judgement of how the people ur cooking for eat. so that way u can be prepared.
- 10. and before i finish, i just wanted to say, we always like a little extra cheese on top of ours. which is why i said two bags of shredded cheese.
Tips:
- Choose a large, sturdy noodle. Stuffed noodles are a hearty dish, so you'll need a noodle that can hold its shape and won't fall apart when cooked. Some good options include jumbo shells, manicotti, and cannelloni.
- Cook the noodles al dente. You don't want the noodles to be too soft, or they'll be difficult to stuff. Cook them according to the package directions, but err on the side of undercooking them slightly.
- Use a variety of fillings. There are endless possibilities when it comes to stuffed noodle fillings. Some popular options include ricotta cheese, spinach, mushrooms, sausage, and ground beef. Get creative and experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
- Don't overstuff the noodles. You want the noodles to be filled, but not so much that they burst open when cooked. Aim to fill them about two-thirds full.
- Top with a flavorful sauce. Stuffed noodles are often served with a tomato sauce, but you can also use a creamy sauce or a pesto. Choose a sauce that complements the flavors of the filling.
Conclusion:
Stuffed noodles are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little creativity, you can create a stuffed noodle dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
