Pancakes with ricotta and courgette

Pancakes with ricotta and courgette

Oh, I know that I am repeating myself. Privilege of old age;-) It is so nice though, when friends drop in for dinner! I wanted to prepare something relatively light so that they have room for the cake at dessert.  I went along vegetarian path, which turned out a good choice. Not only the cake was appreciated, a small glass of lavender liqueur was too. It made a huge impression. So much so that I am not sure anyone will ask for it again;-)))










"Pancakes with ricotta"

- 300 g flour
- 1/2litre milk
- 3 eggs
- a few chopped mint leaves
- some chopped parsley

- 350g  courgette cut in quarters along the length and sliced
- circa 400g ricotta
- 50g almond flakes
- salt, pepper
- 1 glass full cream
- grated cheese to sprinkle

Beat the dough together with the herbs. Leave to rest for half an hour. Fry fairly thin pancakes. On a separate frying pan fry the courgettes in butter, add ricotta and almonds, then salt and pepper to taste.

Place some filling on each pancake and form triangles. Put in a greased container, pour the cream on top and sprinkle with grated cheese.  Bake all in an oven for 20 minutes and serve hot.
