Place the roasting pan in a preheated oven at 180°C (top/bottom heat) for 25 minutes. Wash the zucchini and cut into thick slices. Wash the bell peppers and chop roughly. Wash and tear the herbs. Spread the bacon on a board. Place the loin on the bacon and season with salt, pepper, and paprika. Then wrap it in the bacon. Briefly puree the passata with the fresh herbs and season with salt and pepper. If you like, add a pinch of sugar to round it off. Remove the roasting pan from the oven. Add the zucchini, bell peppers, and passata. Briefly mix and place the loin on top. Return to the hot oven for another 25 minutes. Let the loin rest for five minutes, then slice and serve with vegetables and sauce. Of course, you can vary the amount of vegetables, potatoes, or herbs, depending on the number of people eating and your own taste.
