  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Wash and thoroughly dry the spinach. Squeeze out excess water.
  3. In a bowl, toss spinach with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
  4. Gently flatten the veal (or chicken/pork) cutlets using a meat mallet to an even thickness.
  5. Place a slice of prosciutto on each cutlet.
  6. Top each prosciutto slice with 1/4 of the spinach mixture.

  9. In an oven-safe skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and butter over medium heat.
  10. Lightly dust the rolled cutlets with flour.
  11. Sauté the cutlets for 3 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
  12. Add white wine, lemon juice, and broth to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper.
  13. Bring to a simmer, then transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
  14. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cutlets are cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  15. Remove from oven and let rest for 2 minutes before removing toothpicks.
  16. Arrange the veal saltimbocca on a warm serving platter.
  17. Pour the pan juices over the cutlets.
