Ingredients:
- 9-10 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
- 3 cups Fontina cheese, shredded (divided)
- 1 egg
- 1 cup frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 9-10 slices prosciutto
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Drain them well and pat them dry using paper towels. |
| 2 | Cheesy Spinach Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups of shredded Fontina cheese, egg, drained spinach, ricotta cheese, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined, creating a creamy and cheesy filling. |
| 3 | Rolling the Rolls: Lay out the cooked lasagna noodles on a clean work surface. Spread a generous amount of the cheese mixture evenly over each noodle. Place a slice of prosciutto lengthwise along each noodle, adding a delightful salty flavor to every bite. |
| 4 | Roll ‘Em Up: Carefully roll up each noodle, starting from one end and rolling tightly to encase the filling. Place the rolled noodles seam side down in a baking dish, ensuring they fit snugly without too much overlap. |
| 5 | Buttery Drizzle: Drizzle the melted butter over the top of each roll, ensuring they are all nicely coated for a golden and flavorful finish. |
| 6 | Baking Magic: Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil, sealing in all the delicious flavors. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the rolls are heated through and the cheese is wonderfully melted. |
| 7 | Finishing Touch: Remove the foil from the baking dish and sprinkle the remaining shredded Fontina cheese over the top of the rolls. Return the dish, uncovered, to the oven for an additional 1 minute, or until the cheese is melted and gloriously bubbly. |
| 8 | Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the Spinach and Prosciutto Rolls from the oven. Let them cool slightly before serving, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. Garnish with fresh herbs, if desired, and serve these delicious rolls as a delightful appetizer or a satisfying main dish. Enjoy every savory, cheesy bite! |
