- Mix in the egg yolk, ricotta and finely chopped spinach and parsley. Season well with salt and pepper. The mixture should be relatively stiff, if not, mix in breadcrumbs.
- Divide the filling over the four veal slices, roll them up and tie closed using kitchen twine. Sear briefly on all sides in 1 tbsp of olive oil, remove and keep warm in the oven at about 120F.
- To prepare the sauce, cut 200 g of mushrooms into slices, sauté in the pan, deglaze with white wine. Add about 150 ml of cream and bring to the boil. Remove the involtini from the oven and put them in the pan. Simmer for about 6 min. Return the meat to the oven and keep warm at about 60 degrees. Puree the sauce using the hand blender and season with lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste.
