Caterina is correct, these are what the calabrese call pattee. They never have anchovies! To all those people who disagree with Caterina Italian food is regional what you may do may be different to what others do! Yes Zeppole have anchovies they are made with potato, flour and yeast. You guys must have missed out as children not having your nonne or mums make them for you

This recipe is from regions south of Italy. The recipe you're thinking of are zippole which can be sweet made with sugar or savoury with anchovies. They are all delicious! Thanks for the memory-mum made these whenever the zucchini flowers were ready in our garden.

Pasta shapes

Thin, delicate pasta shapes are lovely combined with thinner, delicate sauces. Tubular or irregular shaped pastas are best with chunky sauces (so the sauce can get caught inside the shapes). Small pasta shapes, such as risoni, are great in soups.
