Author Notes: This strudel is very popular, especially in continental Croatia. My mom's original recipe is made with light green young pumpkin and farmer cheese, now I use zucchini and ricotta. Most of the time I am making homemade dough but sometime an easier way is to just buy phyllo dough and you are half way there. —anka
