Eggplant Rollatini with Angel Hair
After having delicious eggplant rollatini at a restaurant, I decided that I HAD to learn how to make it. Here is what I came up with. Eggplant slices are rolled around ricotta and prosciutto and served with angel hair pasta.
Ingredients
Serves: 4
- 1 eggplant, peeled and cut lengthwise into 1/2cm slices
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup (115g) breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 10 slices prosciutto
- 1 (400g) jar tomato pasta sauce
- 2 cups (230g) grated mozzarella cheese
- 230g angel hair pasta
Directions

- Dip the eggplant slices in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs. Heat the olive oil in a large frypan over medium-high heat. Fry the eggplant on each side until golden brown. Remove to a paper towel lined plate to drain.
- Preheat the oven to 180 degrees C.
- Spread a thin layer of ricotta cheese onto each slice of eggplant. Place a slice of prosciutto onto each one. Roll up tightly and place seam side down in a 20x30cm baking dish. Pour pasta sauce over the rolls and top with grated mozzarella cheese.
- Bake for 15 minutes in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted and lightly browned.
- While the eggplant rolls are cooking, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the angel hair pasta and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until tender. Drain. Serve eggplant rolls and sauce over pasta.

I didn't find this fast or easy as others said . I sweated the eggplant first . I also added roasted garlic and spinach to the ricotta mixture. It was fantastic. This is a great recipe that has alot of room to add and play with. - 09 Jan 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I've made this twice and really enjoy it. I made a lighter version the second time though. Instead of using a whole egg and frying it, I used a couple of eggwhites mixed with a little water. I dipped that in bread brumbs and put them under the broiler about 5 minutes per side on a baking sheet sprayed with cooking spray. It takes no extra time really. I also used part skim ricotta. - 01 Jul 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
I didn't use the prosciutto. I added chopped spinach to the ricotta cheese instead. - 02 Sep 2008 (Review from Allrecipes USA and Canada)
