2-3 lbs. beef (or combination or pork, beef & veal)
1 lb. Italian sausage, remove casings
1-2 pkgs. chopped frozen spinach, defrosted & squeezed dry
1/2 c. bread crumbs
2-3 eggs
Salt, pepper, garlic, Italian seasonings to taste
2-3 tsp. pignola (pine) nuts (opt.)

Combine and mix all ingredients thoroughly and roll out into rectangle shape between 2 large sheets of waxed paper, about 1/2" to 3/4" thick; approximately 10"x14". Remove top sheet before adding filling.

FILLING:

1/4 lb. Italian salami, prosciutto or ham
1 lb. Ricotta cheese
1/2 c. Parmesan cheese, grated
1 egg, whisked
1 (16 oz.) Mozzarella cheese, sliced (1/4 lb. to be cubed for filling, opt.)

Place a layer of salami, prosciutto or ham over meat. Combine the other ingredients and spread mixture over the salami. Spread with cubed Mozzarella cheese.

Remove bottom layer of waxed paper on edge nearest you and raise gradually. Roll away from you as if making a jelly roll. Continue until meat loaf is rolled completely and waxed paper can be removed completely. Carefully transfer to jelly roll pan and put slices of Mozzarella cheese on top. Bake in 350 degree oven until done, about 1 hour. Can be served hot or cold; or frozen after baking.
