Inspired by a delightful restaurant dish, try this tasty homemade eggplant rollatini recipe.
Ingredients:
  • 1 eggplant, peeled and cut lengthwise into 1/4 inch slices
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 10 slices prosciutto
  • 1 (14 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 pound angel hair pasta
Instructions:
  • First, gently bathe the eggplant slices in the beaten egg, then generously cover them with crunchy bread crumbs. Next, sizzle the olive oil in a spacious skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the eggplant until it achieves a glorious golden brown color on each side. Finally, transfer the fried eggplant to a plate lined with absorbent paper towels to drain off any excess oil.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) for the perfect cooking environment.
  • Layer each slice of eggplant with a delicate spread of ricotta cheese and a slice of prosciutto. Roll them up tightly and place in a baking dish, seam side down. Cover with spaghetti sauce and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  • Bake in the oven until the cheese is gooey and lightly golden, about 15 minutes in the preheated oven.
  • As the eggplant rolls bake, bring a pot of salted water to a vigorous boil. Cook the angel hair pasta for 2 to 3 minutes until tender. Drain and serve with the eggplant rolls and sauce on top.
