Steps:
- Place an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a heavy baking sheet with vegetable oil cooking spray.
- Arrange the prosciutto in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes until crispy. Drain on paper towels. When cool enough to handle, crumble the prosciutto into 1/2-inch pieces.
- Cut the pasta dough in quarters and press flat. Run each piece of pasta dough several times through a pasta-rolling machine, adjusting the setting each time until the pasta is about 1/16-inch thick. Add the fettuccine attachment and run the pasta sheets through. Dust the fettuccine lightly with flour to avoid sticking.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the olive oil and pasta. Cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes. Place the pasta in a large serving bowl.
- For the sauce: In a medium saucepan, combine the figs, broth, orange juice, thyme, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the goat cheese, mascarpone cheese and lemon zest until the sauce is creamy.
- Pour the sauce over the cooked pasta and toss until all the ingredients are coated. Top with the crumbled prosciutto and serve.
- Place the cake flour, all-purpose flour, egg yolks and salt in a food processor. Pulse to combine. With the machine running, gradually add the oil then 1/3 to 1/2 cup water until the mixture forms a dough (the dough should stick together if pinched between your fingers). If necessary, add additional water, 1 teaspoon at a time if the dough is too dry.
- Place the dough on a lightly floured surface. Gather the dough into a ball and knead until the dough is smooth, 5 to 8 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Cut the dough into quarters and press flat. Run each piece of pasta dough several times through a pasta-rolling machine, adjusting the setting each time, until the pasta is about 1/8 to 1/16-inch thick. Cut the pasta into the desired shape and use as needed.

Steps:
- Stir together goat cheese and pepper with a fork. Spread butter on cut sides of rolls. Make sandwiches with rolls, peppered goat cheese, figs, prosciutto, and arugula.
Tips:
- Choose ripe, juicy figs: Look for figs that are plump and have a slight give when gently pressed. Avoid figs that are too hard or have bruises or blemishes.
- Use high-quality prosciutto: Prosciutto is the star of this sandwich, so it's important to use the best quality you can find. Look for prosciutto that is thinly sliced and has a delicate, salty flavor.
- Use fresh goat cheese: Fresh goat cheese is creamy and tangy, and it pairs perfectly with the sweetness of the figs and the saltiness of the prosciutto. Avoid using goat cheese that is too firm or crumbly.
- Add a drizzle of honey or balsamic glaze: A drizzle of honey or balsamic glaze will add a touch of sweetness and acidity to the sandwich. This is optional, but it's a nice way to take the sandwich to the next level.
- Serve the sandwich immediately: This sandwich is best served immediately after it is made. The bread will get soggy if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
These prosciutto, goat cheese, and fig sandwiches are the perfect combination of sweet, salty, and tangy. They're easy to make and perfect for a quick lunch or dinner. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that will impress your friends and family.
