Ingredients
  

  • 8 slices 1/8-inch thick, about 4-ounces each Boar's Head Roast Beef
  • 2 hard-boiled eggs chopped
  • 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese shredded
  • 1/2 cup fresh flat leaf Italian parsley chopped
  • 3 Tbl. toasted pine nuts
  • 2-3 garlic cloves minced
  • 2 Tbl. olive oil divided
  • pinch salt & pepper
  • 3-4 cups arrabbiata sauce
  • 1/2 cup dry red wine
  • 1 large spaghetti squash optional

Instructions
 

  • Combine chopped hard-boiled eggs, bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley, pine nuts, garlic, 1 Tbl. olive oil, salt & pepper.
  • Lay each beef slice on a flat surface; spoon 1/8th filling mixture onto center of beef slice. Fold over one of the short sides, then fold in edges and roll tightly. Reserve and repeat with remaining beef and filling.
  • Heat remaining 1 Tbl. olive oil in a large covered skillet over medium-high heat. Brown rolls, 1-2 minutes per side, working in batches. Once browned, top rolls with arrabbiata sauce or transfer to a slow cooker and top with sauce. For stove top method, simmer beef rolls covered over low heat for 60-75 minutes or until tender. For slow cooker method, place on LOW for 3-4 hours or until tender.

For spaghetti squash...

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut squash in half lengthwise. Remove seeds and rub inside with olive oil. Place cut side down on shallow baking sheet. Roast for 50-60 minutes until skin is easily pierced with a fork and flesh is easily removed. Scoop flesh from skins into a bowl and season with salt & pepper to taste.

Notes

These Briacole {Italian Beef Rolls} with a 1/2 cup of sauce weighed in at 8 WW Pts+. We served them over roasted spaghetti squash which added no additional points values.
The 1/2 cup red wine listed under ingredients is used at your discretion. Great in the sauce or on the side.
