thick, jam-like consistency, about 30 minutes. There should be 1 1/2 to 2 cups of reduced
sauce. Let the sauce cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes. Stir in the mozzarella
cheese and prosciutto.

Meanwhile, place 1 piece of dough on a work surface. Roll the dough out gently until you
can cut an 8 1/2 by 9 1/2-inch rectangle. Press the scraps into a small rectangle and roll
it out to the same thickness as the other rectangle. Cut 3 rectangles from the large
rectangle and 1 rectangle from the small rectangle. Each should measure 8 1/2 by 3 inches.
Continue rolling and cutting the remaining pie dough.

To form the tarts, place the rectangles on a work surface. Brush each rectangle with egg
wash. Place a large spoonful of the marinara mixture in the middle of the bottom half of
the rectangle. Fold the dough in half over the marinara mixture to make a 3 by 4-inch
rectangle. Press the edges to seal. Using a scalloped ravioli cutter, trim the rectangles
to make a decorative edge. Place the tarts on the baking sheets. Brush with egg wash and
generously sprinkle with cheese. Bake until golden, about 20 to 25 minutes.
