8 cloves garlic
4 sprigs rosemary leaves
1 bunch silverbeet leaves, chopped
1 bunch basil, leaves picked, torn
200g fresh ricotta cheese, crumbled
1/2 cup finely grated parmesan,

SAGE AND WINE BUTTER SAUCE
125g butter, chopped
1 cup dry white wine
1 bunch sage leaves
STEP 1 Combine pork, salami, mushrooms, onion, garlic and rosemary in a large bowl. Pass through the coarse blade of a mincer. Mix in silverbeet, basil and cheeses. Season. STEP 2 Combine flour, eggs, yolks and fine salt in a bowl. Mix to form a dough, then knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth. Roll dough through a pasta machine, dusting with extra flour, until 3mm thick. Cut pasta in half, brush one edge with water, then join with a slight overlap to make a rectangle. Press with a rolling pin to secure. STEP 3 Arrange pork mixture as a log along near edge of pasta. Roll up. Wrap in a clean tea towel. Tie ends and
centre with kitchen twine to secure. STEP 4 Cook rotolo in a large saucepan of salted boiling water for 12-15 minutes. Remove from water, unwrap twine carefully and slice. STEP 5 To make the sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in wine and sage. Drizzle rotolo with sauce and scatter with rocket and parmesan. Serve with lemon wedges.
