Ricotta Stuffed Squash Blossoms

I had my first fried squash blossoms in Napa many years ago, and still think about them…  So when I spotted squash blossoms at the farmers market this past week, I jumped on the opportunity to try my hand at recreating this recipe.  I used a Ziplock bag to pipe the cheese picture into the blossoms, and then brushed batter on them and fried for a couple of minutes.  It is definitely important to work in batches, or you will brown the blossoms in the later batches like I did (not a cute look).  Dip in some yummy marinara sauce and you have the perfect starter to any Italian meal!
