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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

On a sheet of parchment paper, spread the meat mixture into a rectangular shape about 1/2-inch thick.

Step 4

Evenly layer the prosciutto slices on top of the meat mixture, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 5

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the prosciutto layer, followed by the fresh spinach leaves.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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).

Step 10

Let the Sicilian Meat Roll rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with additional tomato sauce if desired.
