Chef tips
Choose pumpkin flowers with a nice bright color and with tense petals (not curled or shriveled).
Clean them carefully eliminating the stem, internal pistil and external filaments.
For a tastier but more caloric recipe, you can add mozzarella cubes, smoked pancetta or 
some anchovies to the filling.
