Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Make tomato sauce: Cook garlic and red pepper flakes in oil in a 2-qt heavy saucepan over medium heat, stirring, until garlic is golden, about 30 seconds. Add tomatoes, water, sugar, and 1/2 tsp salt and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened. About 25-30 minutes.
  2. Prepare squash blossoms: Stri together ricotta, yolk, mint, 1/3 cup parm, and 1/8 tsp of each salt and pepper.
  3. Carefully open each blossom and fill with 2 rounded tsp of ricotta filling, gently twisting the end of each blossom to enclose filling. You may have filling left over.
  4. Whisk together flour, remain 1/3 cup parm, 1/4 tsp salt, and seltzer in small bowl.
  5. Heat 1/2 inch oil to 375 degrees in a 10-inch heavy skillet. Meanwhile dip half of blossoms in batter to thinly coat. Fry coated blossoms, turning once, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes total.
  6. Transfer with tongs to paper towels to drain. Coat and fry remaining blossoms. Return oil to 375 degrees between batches.
  7. Season with salt. Serve with tomato sauce.
