Rotolo with Toscano Ground Sausage

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375ºF.

2. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and brown the sausage, breaking up any large clumps that form.

3. While the sausage is browning, combine the ricotta, parmesan, mozzarella, spinach, and eggs in a large mixing bowl.

4. Drain the sausage and paper towels, and allow to cool.

5. Add the sausage to the spinach mixture.

6. Lay the pasta sheets out on a clean, dry work surface, one at a time.

7. Spread a thin layer of the sausage mixture over the pasta sheet. Gently roll the sheets up, starting with the long edge toward you, and rolling away to create a long tube shape.

8. Repeat with the remaining pasta sheets.

9. Cover the bottom of a large baking dish with the marinara sauce.

10. Slice the rolls into 2-inch long sections and place cut side down on the marinara sauce.

11. Pour 1/2 cup of water over the dish, cover, and bake for about 30 minutes.

12. Remove from the oven and serve hot.
