The recipe is easy to prepare, we’ll give you some tips for a better result:

  • roll out the dough very thin, about 2-3 mm, so that it won’t remain raw in the center.
  • you do not have to overdo it with the zucchini, otherwise the swirls will tend to fall apart while you try to eat them.
  • in order not to distort during cutting, use a sharp knife; in this way you will avoid the filling from leaking out 🙂 .
