Cucuzzi Squash is a dramatic Italian heirloom also known as snake gourd for its ability to grow in long, twisting, serpentine shapes that make it one of the most visually theatrica l plants in any garden. The flavor is mild and delicate — somewhere between cucumber and zucchini — making it wonderfully versatile in Italian cooking: stuffed and baked, sliced into soups and stews, or sautéed simply with garlic and olive oil in the way generations of Italian grandmothers intended.
