PROSCIUTTO-AND-CHEESE-FILLED ZUCCHINI ROLLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a standard-size rimmed baking sheet with parchment. Spray the bottom and sides lightly with cooking spray. Set aside.
• Shred the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater, then transfer to a large bowl. Sprinkle with a good pinch of salt and several grinds of pepper and toss well. Let sit until softened and starting to release some of its natural juices, about 5 minutes. Transfer the shredded zucchini to a clean kitchen towel or damp cheesecloth, then squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible. Reserving the liquid for another use (see Cook's Note), wipe out the large bowl.
• Whisk the eggs, 1/3 cup of the Parmesan, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and several grinds of pepper in the same large bowl until combined. Stir in the zucchini until evenly dispersed throughout the egg mixture. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, spreading the mixture into a thin, even layer. Bake until just set and opaque (there shouldn't be any browning), about 20 minutes.
• Let it cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then invert onto a clean kitchen towel (not terry cloth) and carefully remove the parchment. Starting at one of the longer ends, roll up the egg-zucchini shell and the towel together into a spiral. Transfer seam-side down to a wire rack and let cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir the cream cheese, scallions, a good pinch of salt and remaining 3 tablespoons Parmesan in a small bowl until smooth and combined. Set aside at room temperature until ready to assemble.
• Unroll the room temperature egg-zucchini shell, then use an offset spatula to spread on the cream cheese mixture into a thin, even layer. Next, lay the prosciutto slices down on top in an even layer (the cheese should be almost completely covered). Reroll tightly without the towel. Refrigerate until chilled through, at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.
• When ready to serve, use a sharp chef's knife to slice crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick pieces.

VEAL SALTIMBOCCA

• Saute the mushrooms in olive oil over medium-high heat until they're almost fully cooked. Add the floured veal to the pan.
• When the veal has been cooked on both sides, add the marsala to the pan. This will deglaze the pan and stop the cooking process. Remove from the heat.
• Add the chicken stock, and seasonings to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook allowing the sauce to reduce.
• In another saute pan add in a little olive oil and the baby spinach, saute until completely cooked and set aside (make sure you drain off any extra oil)*you can use water instead of oil if preferred.
• Take the butter and coat it in flour pressing flour into the butter and add to the sauce (this is called a beurre manie) it will thicken the sauce and the butter will impart a rich flavor
• Turn the heat to low and top each veal medallion with thinly sliced prosciutto and shredded fontina cheese
• Cover the pan and allow the cheese to melt.
• Place a portion of the spinach on a plate and place the finished veal saltimbocca on top of the spinach.
