3. Season with salt and bring to the boil. Remove the garlic clove and spread the courgettes on the meat rectangle. Cover it with slices of Scamorza cheese and roll it up to form a cylinder. Then tie the roast with string so that the stuffing does not come out.

  1. Put a little oil in a pan and brown the roast; then add a dash of milk, a sprig of rosemary and a few sage leaves; put the lid on and let the roast cook for 45 minutes.
  2. If a lot of liquid forms, remove the lid and let it evaporate by browning the surface of the roast.
    Serve hot in slices, possibly accompanied by a spoonful of the cooking liquid.
