Steps:
- For the pasta: In a food processor, pulse together the cake flour, all-purpose flour, egg yolks, olive oil, and salt. With the food processor running, gradually add the water in a steady stream until the mixture forms a ball, adding extra water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed. Place the dough on a floured work surface and knead for 2 minutes until smooth. Cut the dough in half and shape into discs. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- For the filling: Place the drained spinach in the middle of a clean kitchen towel. Fold the towel in half and squeeze out any excess moisture. Place the spinach in a medium bowl. Add the prosciutto, ricotta cheese, Parmesan, egg yolk, olive oil, butter, salt, and pepper. Using a fork, mix until combined.
- On a floured work surface, roll out the chilled dough into 2 (8-inch diameter) circles. Place the filling in the center of each circle and, using a spatula, spread evenly over the dough leaving a 1/2 to 3/4-inch border of uncovered dough. In a small bowl, beat the egg and water together until smooth. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the edges of the dough with the egg mixture. Roll the dough into logs, jellyroll style, and pinch the edges together to seal. Roll each log in the prepared cheesecloth and secure the ends with kitchen twine.
- Oil a baking sheet. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to a simmer. Lower the logs into the water and cook for 15 minutes. Using 2 pairs of tongs to hold the twine, remove the logs, one at a time, and place on the prepared baking sheet until cool enough to handle, about 10 minutes.
- Preheat the broiler. Butter an 8 by 8-inch flameproof baking dish.
- Remove the kitchen twine and cheesecloth. Using a sharp knife, cut each log into 12 (1/2-inch thick) slices. Fan the slices in 3 overlapping rows in the prepared baking dish. Using a pastry brush, brush the top of the slices with the melted butter and sprinkle with Parmesan. Broil until golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve with warm marinara sauce.

Tips:
- To make the pasta dough, use a food processor fitted with a dough blade. Combine the flour, salt, and eggs in the food processor and pulse until the dough just comes together. If the dough is too dry, add a little water one tablespoon at a time until it forms a ball.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can make the pasta dough by hand. Place the flour and salt in a large bowl and make a well in the center. Crack the eggs into the well and whisk them together with a fork. Gradually whisk in the flour from the sides of the bowl until the dough comes together. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
- To make the filling, combine the ricotta cheese, spinach, prosciutto, Parmesan cheese, eggs, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly combined.
- To assemble the pasta rolls, roll out the pasta dough into a thin sheet. Cut the sheet into 6-inch squares. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each square. Fold the pasta dough over the filling to form a rectangle. Crimp the edges of the pasta dough to seal the filling inside.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta rolls and cook for 3-4 minutes, or until they float to the top of the pot.
- Remove the pasta rolls from the pot and drain them on paper towels. Serve immediately with your favorite sauce.
