Chef Joe fell in love with cooking at an early age. Mostly due to cooking at his mother’s side in the kitchen. One of her most well known dishes was her lasagna. A true labor of love that would often be a THREE day long process. But fret not - lasagna does not need to take three days. The same satisfying and heart-warming nostalgia that is found in the classic, can be rekindled in this Italian speciality - ROTOLO.
It is easiest to think of rotolo as a rolled up lasagna. Stuffed with all the best parts of the classic dish, cut into servable slices, and broiled for crispy perfection. No more fighting over the toasted edges!
What can be a better filling for such a treat than fresh made ricotta. Chef Joe shares his recipe and favorite techniques for making this “twice cooked” cheese.
Luscious fresh ricotta cheese, roasted mushrooms, cheesy fonduta, and perfectly cooked pasta. What more could you ask for?
As a note - you can simplify the recipe by using store-bought dried pasta sheets as well!
