Melanzane Involtino (eggplant Roll)
From asheats 14 years ago
- 50 minutes to make
- Serves 4
* Note that Ricotta Salata is NOT the regular ricotta that you buy for making things like lasagna, it is more like a crumbly framers cheese and breaks apart like feta or goat cheese does ... if you can't find it then use a farmers cheese, feta, or goat cheese even though that will change the flavor of the dish
