Spinach And Cheese Veal Rollatini Recipes

Steps:

• Mash anchovy paste into 4 tablespoons butter in a bowl until combined. Gently pound cutlets to slightly less than 1/8 inch thick between 2 sheets of plastic wrap with flat side of a meat pounder or with a rolling pin. Pat cutlets dry and season lightly with salt and pepper, then spread 1 1/2 teaspoons anchovy butter over top of each cutlet. (You will have a little butter left over.) Sprinkle 1/4 cup cheese over anchovy butter, leaving a 1/4-inch border, then arrange spinach leaves, overlapping in 1 layer, to cover cutlets. Working with 1 cutlet at a time, arrange with a short side nearest you and roll up tightly, then secure with a wooden pick.
• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425°F.
• Pat rolls dry. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a 12-inch ovenproof heavy skillet over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then sauté veal, turning occasionally, until golden on all sides, about 4 minutes total. Transfer skillet to oven and bake veal until just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer veal with tongs to a platter (reserve skillet) and keep warm, covered.
• Pour off all but 1 tablespoon fat from skillet, then add wine and deglaze skillet by boiling (on stovetop) over high heat, scraping up brown bits, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat, then add any juices accumulated on platter and swirl in remaining 2 tablespoons butter (not remaining anchovy butter). Cook over low heat until incorporated. Stir in parsley and salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• For the pasta: In a food processor, pulse together the cake flour, all-purpose flour, egg yolks, olive oil, and salt. With the food processor running, gradually add the water in a steady stream until the mixture forms a ball, adding extra water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed. Place the dough on a floured work surface and knead for 2 minutes until smooth. Cut the dough in half and shape into discs. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• For the filling: Place the drained spinach in the middle of a clean kitchen towel. Fold the towel in half and squeeze out any excess moisture. Place the spinach in a medium bowl. Add the prosciutto, ricotta cheese, Parmesan, egg yolk, olive oil, butter, salt, and pepper. Using a fork, mix until combined.
• On a floured work surface, roll out the chilled dough into 2 (8-inch diameter) circles. Place the filling in the center of each circle and, using a spatula, spread evenly over the dough leaving a 1/2 to 3/4-inch border of uncovered dough. In a small bowl, beat the egg and water together until smooth. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the edges of the dough with the egg mixture. Roll the dough into logs, jellyroll style, and pinch the edges together to seal. Roll each log in the prepared cheesecloth and secure the ends with kitchen twine.
• Oil a baking sheet. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer. Lower the logs into the water and cook for 15 minutes. Using 2 pairs of tongs to hold the twine, remove the logs, one at a time, and place on the prepared baking sheet until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler. Butter an 8 by 8-inch flameproof baking dish.
• Remove the kitchen twine and cheesecloth. Using a sharp knife, cut each log into 12 (1/2-inch thick) slices. Fan the slices in 3 overlapping rows in the prepared baking dish. Using a pastry brush, brush the top of the slices with the melted butter and sprinkle with Parmesan. Broil until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve with warm marinara sauce.

Steps:

• Make the cheese sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth; cook, whisking, 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk and cayenne until smooth. Bring to a boil and cook, whisking occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cheddar, mozzarella and parmesan until melted. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper; let cool to room temperature, about 1 hour.
• Make the filling: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat; add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 6 minutes. Add the spinach, artichoke hearts, Worcestershire sauce and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and let cool, 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the parmesan, egg and 3/4 cup of the cooled cheese sauce.
• Prepare the rollatini: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and stir in the olive oil. Add the noodles and cook, stirring often, until pliable but not fully cooked, about 8 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool, then lay on a work surface.
• Evenly spread 2 1/2 cups of the cheese sauce in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Spoon 2 tablespoons of the spinach filling at one end of each noodle. Roll the noodles around the filling and place seam-side down in the baking dish. Top with the remaining sauce and sprinkle with the mozzarella and parmesan.
• Cover the dish with foil; bake until bubbly, about 35 minutes. Turn on the broiler. Uncover and broil until browned in spots, 2 to 4 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Blanch the ravioli a few at a time in salted water for one or two minutes and drain on an oiled plate so they don't stick. They should not be cooked all the way.
• Pour 1 1/2 cups sauce into a 9 x 13" pan and line the spinach leaves over top. Place ravioli on top of spinach and top each ravioli with a slice of mozzarella. Spoon remaining sauce over top of cheese.
• Cover pan with plastic wrap and then cover with foil very tightly. You can stow this in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Bring to room temperature while you pre-heat the oven.
• Bake about 45 minutes to an hour or until the ravioli are hot throughout. Time depends on how big, or cold the ravioli are.
• When the ravioli are done just uncover for a few minutes and sprinkle with parmesan cheese and let melt in the oven, about 5 minutes. Watch it so it does not burn. Sprinkle with basil.
• Enjoy with garlic bread or bread sticks!

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and coat a large baking pan with cooking spray.
• Arrange chicken breasts on a flat surface. Top each piece of chicken with ham.

• Starting from the shorter end, roll up chicken and secure with wooden picks.
• Brush mustard all over chicken rolls on all sides,and then roll in bread crumbs to lightly coat.
• Heat enough oil to brown chicken and prevent sticking (2-3 Tbsp or so) in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Add chicken rolls and cook until golden brown on all sides, just a few minutes per side.
• Transfer chicken to a greased casserole and bake 20 minutes,or until chicken is cooked through.
• Serve chicken over hot pasta that has been tossed with a little buter or olive oil, salt & pepper or your favorite sauce.
