Directions
- Lay meat flat on work surface. Sprinkle w/salt and pepper.
- Layer with a slice of prosciutto, mozzarella, pecorino, egg, spinach and basil.
- Roll up starting with narrowest end as for a jelly roll. Tie the roll with kitchen twine.
- Pour a generous amount of olive oil into a sauté` pan. Add the soffrito and sauté` very gently until the vegetable are very soft and the onion is translucent. Add a pinch of salt and a spoonful of water to avoid over browning.
- Add the involtini and turn them with a wooden spoon to brown them all around. When they are nicely browned, add a generous amount of wine. Let it cook until wine is absorbed and the involtini and vegetables start to separate from the pan.
- Add enough marinara to almost cover the meat and. Lower the heat and cover. Let cook until meat is cooked through.
- Add chopped parsley and stir in just a minute before removing from stove. While cooking, if the sauce gets too thick, thin it down with a little chicken broth.
- Remove the involtini from the pan and pull out the toothpicks or cut off the string.
- Can be served over fettuccine, polenta or with a vegetable and plenty of crusty bread to east up all the sauce.
