Cappellacci with Creamy Zucchini, Burrata, and Hazelnuts

Cappellacci with creamy zucchini, burrata, and hazelnuts. After visiting Rivalta, where they grow zucchini, this new recipe was born, proposed just for the occasion. A first course rich in fragrance and summer lightness. Without much processing, in its total simplicity. The fresh and tender zucchini and the other raw vegetables give this main course a nice contrast between the softness of the filling and the crunchiness of the colorful julienne.

June is the ideal month to get to know and best enjoy these preparations; hot July requires other freshness, while spring pairs well with tender and flavorful vegetables.
