An Out-Of-Season Craving, Satisfied

It may be the middle of winter, but you can still sink your teeth into a popular summer specialty: zucchini blossoms. Novita's Marco Fregonese religiously imports the little green gems from Israel, and then stuffs them with creamy bufala ricotta. The rich, slightly warmed cheese oozes out when you fork apart one of the lightly fried blossoms, which are served on a slice of prosciutto and a salad dressed with mustard vinaigrette.
