你大概常聽到「al dente」(略帶嚼勁)與「aglio e olio」(蒜香橄欖油)這些術語,但你可能不那麼熟悉的一個重要的義大利烹飪詞彙是 involtini。這個詞源自意大利語 involto,意思是「被包裹的」,involtini 指的是把肉類或蔬菜圍繞著美味餡料捲成的小束。這道菜在全意大利有多種形式,包括西西里風格中薄切的肉片圍繞香餡。它是一個極為多變的詞,餡料與包裹材料的組合幾乎無窮無盡。若採取以蔬菜為主的做法,薄薄的茄子或西葫蘆條也能輕鬆地卷起香料芝士、香草與肉類的餡料。
在這道食譜中,我們善用夏日花園的豐盛收成,將長長的西葫蘆帶包裹著香氣十足的意式香腸、新鮮羅勒與檸檬皮香的瑞可塔起司餡料,然後把這些捲包放入自製的番茄醬中烤焗。鹹香的義式香腸與柔滑的瑞可塔起司為菜餚增添濃郁口感;而西葫蘆、羅勒、檸檬與番茄則為每一口帶來亮麗的清新層次。這款義式香腸西葫蘆卷在營養與風味之間取得了理想平衡,既適合作為健康的平日晚餐,也適合溫暖的周日夜晚享用。
The ingredients needed to make Italian sausage zucchini involtini
為了煮出番茄醬,並在完成與裝盤時使用,你需要一罐大號整顆去皮番茄(最好是聖馬爾扎諾)、橄欖油、大蒜、鹽、紅辣椒碎與羅勒葉。至於 involtini 的餡料,則需準備若干西葫蘆—每條西葫蘆切成薄帶後,沿長度削成薄片直到再也削不動,此舉大約可得到每條西葫蘆約十條薄帶。若要做成 16 個捲,且每條捲需要兩條薄帶,理想的量是約 32 條薄帶,或是三條中等大小的西葫蘆。接著再準備瑞可塔起司、新鮮羅勒、檸檬與帕瑪森起司,和香腸餡料的主體。
Step 1: Heat oil in a skillet
在一個大煎鍋中中火加熱橄欖油。
Step 2: Cook the garlic
加入蒜末,煮至香氣四溢,大約 30 秒鐘。
Step 3: Crush the tomatoes and simmer
把番茄手動捏碎,加入鹽、羅勒與紅辣椒碎,攪拌後煮至滾煮。轉小火慢煮 25–30 分鐘,直到番茄變濃成醬。
Step 4: Smooth the tomato into a sauce
用湯匙背部把番茄壓成更細緻的醬汁形狀。
Step 5: Heat up the oven
同時開始處理西葫蘆與餡料。將烤箱預熱至 400°F(約 200°C)。
Step 6: Slice the zucchini
用 Y 形蔬菜削皮器沿長度薄薄切下西葫蘆片。
Step 7: Salt the zucchini
把切好的西葫蘆片摊在吸油紙鋪成的烤盤上,均勻撒上約 ½ 茶匙鹽。
Step 8: Blot the zucchini dry
靜置 10 分鐘,然後再把表面擦乾。
Step 9: Heat oil in another skillet
在另一個煎鍋中加熱剩餘的橄欖油。
Step 10: Crumble the sausage
把香腸煮成碎末並煎至結塊上色,大約 5–8 分鐘。加入蒜末攪拌。把多餘的油脂由香腸中瀝出來,讓它稍微降溫。
Step 11: Combine the ricotta and lemon
在大碗中把瑞可塔起司、檸檬皮屑、檸檬汁、¼ 杯帕瑪森起司與切碎的羅勒混合。
Step 12: Fold in the sausage and seasoning
把香腸餡料拌入瑞可塔混合物中,接著以¼ 茶匙鹽與黑胡椒調味。
Step 13: Spread the tomato sauce in a dish
為了組裝 involtini,先在砂鍋底部鋪上一層番茄醬。
Step 14: Assemble the involtini
將兩條西葫蘆薄帶平鋪於乾淨表面,略微重疊,在末端放上一大勺餡料。
Step 15: Roll the zucchini around the filling
把西葫蘆緊密地捲起,讓接縫朝下放入烤盤。
Step 16: Repeat to fill the dish
用剩餘的西葫蘆與餡料重複相同步驟,並把每個捲放入盤中。
Step 17: Cover with cheese
覆蓋 ½ 杯磨碎帕瑪森起司。
Step 18: Bake the involtini
以 18–20 分鐘的烘烤時間,烤至起司融化、醬汁呈現起泡狀態。
Step 19: Serve the involtini
從烤箱取出,稍微放涼後,淋上新鮮羅勒葉並灑上帕瑪森起司即可上桌享用。

How thick should my zucchini ribbons be for involtini?
在設計這道食譜時,我試過幾種不同的削切厚度,效果各異,影響捲起時的容易度。曾試過用削片機做出薄薄但堅固的切面,結果切片形狀不整齊,因為西葫蘆表面並不平整。再試著用刀切片,卻發現切片太厚,即使略微烘烤也無法捲成整齊的捲束。於是我採用剝皮並鹽醃的簡單方法,效果是最好的一種。
若你使用 Y 形削皮器,可以切出紙薄的薄片,但你必須在削皮時用力,才能獲得足夠厚度以便卷起。過薄的快速切片並不足以形成支撐面。握緊削皮器,沿著西葫蘆的長度穩穩地削去薄片;若切片不完美也無妨,只要長度與厚度大致相當於一張卡片紙的厚度即可。接著,把薄片對摺重疊,讓捲束的厚度大約與 dime(十美分硬幣)相當,這樣捲裝才會更穩固。
Can I use fresh tomatoes to make pomodoro?
番茄醬(pomodoro)在你有大量新鮮番茄時是一道極棒的醬汁。你可以不用攪拌機或食品處理機就用新鮮番茄煮出醬汁;不過需要多一些步驟。與罐裝番茄不同,新鮮番茄需要去皮再煮成醬汁;皮在醬汁中不會融化,煮出來的醬汁就會留有些許帶嚼感的番茄皮。為了讓醬汁更光滑,先在每個番茄底部劃上小十字,用滾水燙煮 30 秒至 1 分鐘,番茄表面會略亮,皮會變皺而脫落。準備一大盆冰水,將燙過的番茄放入其中以停止再熟,等冷卻後再剝皮。若想要最順滑的醬汁,煮之前也可除去番茄籽與肉質部,讓醬汁更加細緻光滑。
