Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Ground beef
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 large Eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 4 slices Prosciutto, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Spinach, fresh
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1.5 cups Tomato sauce
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, lightly beaten eggs, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
On a sheet of parchment paper, spread the meat mixture into a rectangular shape about 1/2-inch thick.
Evenly layer the prosciutto slices on top of the meat mixture, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the prosciutto layer, followed by the fresh spinach leaves.
Using the parchment paper to help lift, carefully roll the meat mixture into a log, starting from one of the shorter ends. Pinch the seams and ends to seal the roll and ensure the filling stays inside.
Place the meat roll seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the outside of the roll with olive oil to help it brown during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. After 40 minutes, remove from the oven and pour the tomato sauce evenly over the meat roll.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the meat is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 160°F (71°C).
Let the Sicilian Meat Roll rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with additional tomato sauce if desired.
