			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ingredients:<br />
3 1/2 cups (350 g) flour<br />
2 large eggs<br />
A pinch of salt<br />
Slightly more than a half pound (250 g) ricotta<br />
1/4 pound (100 g) provolone cheese, diced<br />
2 egg yolks<br />
A small bunch of parsley, minced<br />
1/4 pound (100 g) prosciutto, in a single thick slice (cooked ham will work if need be), diced<br />
Salt and pepper to taste<br />
Oil for frying</p>
<p>Preparation:</p>
<p>Begin with the filling: whirl the ricotta in a blender until it is creamy, and then add to it the egg yolks, provolone, parsley, and prosciutto. Season the mixture to taste with salt and pepper.</p>
<p>Next, make the dough: Combine the flour, eggs, and salt, incorporate all the flour add a little water to the mixture. Roll the dough onto a sheet &#8212; you don&#8217;t want it quite as thin as pasta dough &#8212; and cut it into 4-inch (10 cm) squares.</p>
<p>Fry the calzoni in hot oil until golden on both sides.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Ingredients:</strong><br />
2 ½ cups flour<br />
water<br />
3 cups white rice<br />
6 eggs<br />
½ lb. pecorino Romano cheese<br />
1 tbsp olive oil<br />
salt, pepper, parsley to taste<br />
Mix flour with water until you are able to form it into a ball.  Knead and roll it into the shape of a rectangular, shallow baking  pan. Lightly treat the pan with a cooking spray. Place the dough into  the pan, allowing it to overlap an inch on each side. Beat 5 of the eggs  and set aside. Boil rice; once cooked, immediately mix in the eggs,  cheese, olive oil, and spices. Spread the rice mixture evenly into the  crust. Use your fingers to roll the excess crust to form any type of  pinched or braided edge. Beat the last egg, add a splash of water, and  brush on the entire top of the torta with an egg wash. Bake at 350  degrees for 15-20 minutes or until set. Let cool to room temperature and  cut into squares.</p>
