Courgettes · rare
Tromboncino
from our plotAn Italian climbing courgette with long, curving, pale-green fruits like a trombone. It goes up rather than out, which suits a small plot, and the flesh is firmer and nuttier than the usual sort — it'll keep cropping right up to the first frost.

Tromboncino pasta
Dice into cubes and fry with garlic and chilli until golden at the edges, then toss through spaghetti with toasted breadcrumbs and a shower of pecorino. The firmer flesh holds its shape beautifully.
