Cucuzza
I got my seeds late and I'm growing this for my fall garden. My garden is small,so I am growing it on a tall security fence behind my house. I ordered my seeds from the Cordaro family(link posted earlier). I also got the recipe book. Get the recipe book!!! I plan on picking when 12-18 inches, peel it and look out!
I only planted one vine,because I am scared how big it will get |

The recipe on the link is pretty much the way I was taught to make it.

Boy that brings back childhood memories. I still do make regular zucchini that way but it gets too soft. The Cucuzza has a firmer texture which holds up well to cooking.
In fact, I grew zucchini da fiore this year and it does produce one or two zukes that have tough skins and are harder than regular zucchini (they are the source of the seeds) and I was going to just save seeds until my mom said "no! peel them they are just like cucuzza" ! So peel them I did
