Steps
Let’s go to the kitchen
We will start by preparing the marinated zucchini, remove the ends and slice them very thinly, then place them in a sieve or colander, season with salt, pepper, and extra virgin olive oil.
Let them rest for 30 minutes and then pat them dry with a towel.
Take the most beautiful slices of zucchini and place them on a surface.
Do the same with the slices of prosciutto, where you should spread a little mozzarella and a little fresh spreadable cheese.
Now place the strips of zucchini, preferably the less visually appealing ones,
then roll them up.
Take each prosciutto roll and place it on two zucchini slices and then roll them again.
Subsequently, with a smooth-blade knife, make a cut in the middle.
Place the prosciutto and zucchini rolls upright on a plate and top each with a basil leaf.
Season with a grind of pepper and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Our dish is ready.
Prosciutto and zucchini rolls can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
