In the fridge I always have a couple of rolls of puff pastry or in any case in the freezer I always try to keep some spare that I prepare and then freeze.

Ingredients

1 puff pastry roll (Rectangular)

400 g zucchini

120 g cooked prosciutto

40 g Parmigiano Reggiano cheese

salt

Preparation

Wash the zucchini, pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel and remove the ends. Then cut them lengthwise. Grate your zucchini with a grater with large holes. Put the grated zucchini in a non-stick pan. Cook and dry them for at least 10 minutes, turning them often to prevent them from sticking. At the end of cooking, salt them and let them cool. Roll out the puff pastry roll on the work surface, season the base with grated Parmesan cheese, crush it with a rolling pin to make it adhere well to the puff pastry. Place the previously cooked zucchini and the slices of cooked ham on the puff pastry. Roll the puff pastry roll tightly. Then cut swivels of about 2 cm with a serrated knife. Line the pan with parchment paper and place the swivels on the baking sheet, crush them gently. Heat the oven 180°C ventilated mode. Bake the rustici for about 23/25 minutes on the middle shelf of the oven. When cooked, take your puff pastry rustici with zucchini out of the oven, let them cool just before serving them on the table.
