Serves 6 2 oz proscuitto, sliced thinly but evenly

4 oz mascarpone cheese

3 stalks of scallions, finely chopped

1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped

Slightly beat the mascarpone so that it can evenly be spread. Add

the chopped scallions, and pepper. Spread a piece of plastic wrap

on a work surface. "Shingle" the proscuitto onto the wrap. Spread

the mascarpone mixture evenly on top of the slices.

Roll the proscuitto up jelly roll style and wrap tightly in the

plastic wrap. Refrigerate until firm. To serve, unwrap the roll

and slice. Notes: Excellent on toast points, crackers or pita chips. May be

prepared ahead and refrigerated until ready to serve.
