Three Cheese Ham Involtini ? How to Make "Hamelloni"

There are lots of ways to reduce the amount of carbs in a recipe, but when it comes to stuffed pasta dishes, our options are limited. We could use thinly sliced vegetables like eggplant, or zucchini, but no matter how tasty it is, it's just not as satisfying. So, one of my favorite tricks is to replace the pasta with thinly sliced meat. Not only do we lower the carbs, but we raise the protein as well. You're welcome, people that do keto, if that's still a thing.

I suggest smoked ham for extra flavor, but any thinly sliced, cured pork product will work, as long as it's large enough to wrap a portion of the filling. As I said in the video, you can make these smaller, using less filling, which will produce more rolls, and as long as they fit in whatever you're going to bake them, it will work fine.

I loved the earthy, aromatic vegetable base I featured mine on, but that can be personalized as well. And if you're not into a simple scattering of cheese on top, feel free to sauce these "hameloni" just like you would a pan of cannelloni. Just be careful not to bake them too long. Once the ricotta filling is heated through, they're done. If you cook these too long, the cheese will dry out, and nobody wants dry hamelloni. Other than that, not much can go wrong, and I really do hope you give this a try soon. Enjoy!
