Steps:

  • To make crepes: Mix ingredients together and stir until smooth. Drop by spoonfuls or 1/4 cup of mixture onto a hot, lightly greased nonstick 6-inch pan. Crepes should form and become dry almost instantly as you swirl the pan and its contents. Turn crepe over to cook other side quickly. Remove cooked crepe to waxed paper to cool. They can be stacked with waxed paper between each and then placed in the freezer until you're ready to fill them. This makes about 9 crepes that can be filled with more than just ricotta. Use for cannelloni, blintzes, etc.
  • To make ricotta filling: Whip all of the ricotta filling ingredients together. Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each crepe, then roll up, and tuck in the ends. Spread a little sauce on the bottom of a baking pan to evenly coat the pan. Then, arrange manicotti in pan loosely and cover with sauce. Bake at 425 degrees F, when the sauce bubbles, serve.
  • Prepare the meats: In a large skillet, brown all the meats in the olive oil. There is no need to cook the meats all the way through. Remember to pierce the sausage before cooking to allow fats and water to be released. Set meats aside.
  • Prepare meatballs: Combine all ingredients except the olive oil in a large bowl. Form the meatballs with your hands (there should be about 12). Fry in the olive oil over medium heat until browned, but not cooked all the way through. Set aside.
  • For the gravy: Saute garlic in the olive oil in the same skillet used to saute the meats. Add tomato paste and cook for a few minutes. In a large saucepot, combine the remaining ingredients except the meats and the tomato paste-garlic mixture and simmer. When the mixture begins to bubble, add all the meats and the meatballs. Stir about every 15 minutes, being sure to scrape the bottom of the pot to prevent burning and sticking. If the gravy seems too thick, add a little water at a time. Simmer for about 3 hours, keeping the lid of the pot slightly askew to prevent condensation of the gravy.

MANICOTTI- CHEESE FILLED ITALIAN CREPES

Ever since I began to make this recipe, I'll never go back to store bought shells again! It's actually easier to make and stuff your own crepe's than it is to boil the shells and have them fall apart while filling them. I can't believe how easy it is and my grandmother is proud of me now! Whenever I make these Manicotti, i always make extra and freeze them individually without sauce, so that on those nights when your running late, take a jar of sauce and layer in a baking dish and cover with foil. bake about 45 minutes and have a home cooked meal in less than an hour! Just add a salad and bread! I hope you all enjoy!

Manicotti- Cheese Filled Italian Crepes image

Steps:

  • Crepes.
  • In either a blender or mixing bowl mix together the eggs and water first.
  • Add flour into this slowly till smooth.
  • Put in refrigerator for at least 1/2 hour. (this can be made a day before to save on time).
  • While the crepe mixture is resting, start on the filling.
  • In a large bowl mix together the Ricotta, Pecorino Romano cheese, Mozzarella, basil, parsley, eggs and pepper.
  • Mix till all ingredients are incorporated.
  • Cover and put in refrigerator till needed.
  • After the crepe mixture has rested for 1/2 hour you can start to prepare them. I use an 8-inch non-stick fry pan. You can use one of them or a crepe pan. Just make sure it's non stick. Very important!
  • Heat the pan on medium heat. Once heated spray with Pam till bottom and sides are covered.
  • Pour 1/3 cup of the batter into the pan and swirl and tilt till the bottom of the pan is covered evenly. Return to burner. (If you think you need more or less mixture in the pan adjust accordingly. You want a thin even layer on the bottom of your pan).
  • Let it cook till the top of the crepe appears dry. About 1 minute or so. When you first put the mixture in the pan, the top is "wet" looking, slowly it will start to look "dry". Once it's all dry, take a butter knife or spatula and slide under the crepe and flip over. cook for 5 seconds more.
  • The crepe should slide out of the pan onto your surface. I put a sheet of aluminum foil on my counter and as I made the crepes I just slide them out onto the foil till they cool. Once cooled you can arrange them on the foil so they overlap each other.
  • Spray you pan again with Pam and make another crepe. Do this till all the batter is gone. This recipe makes approx 16-20 crepes.
  • Preheat your oven to 325°F.
  • Take a baking pan (13x9-inch or larger) and cover the bottom with sauce. The sauce should be room temperature, so that the cheese doesn't melt out of the crepe while you are filling them.
  • To assemble the crepe, place about 2 tablespoons of the filling in a line across the crepe and roll it up. place them seam side down in the pan.
  • Continue doing that till the pan is full. Based on what size pan you use, that will determine how many you can get in the pan.
  • Any extra manicotti that you roll that doesn't fit in the pan can be frozen and kept in a freezer bag for at least 3 months. In the description above I tell you how to recook them.
  • Once the pan is full, put another layer of sauce on top of the stuffed manicotti till they are all covered.
  • Cover pan tightly in foil.
  • Place in 325°F preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes.
  • Take foil off and sprinkle the remaining cup of shredded Mozzarella evenly on the top.
  • Put back in oven till cheese melts and slightly browns (approx 5-10 minutes).
  • Take out of oven and let rest at least 10 minutes and Enjoy!
  • Serve with a nice salad and a warm loaf of Italian bread and you have a great meal!

HOMEMADE CREPE-STYLE MANICOTTI

Contrary to popular opinion, traditional versions of manicotti ("sleeves" in Italian) are made using fresh pasta sheets or crepes, which gives the dish its namesake drape, unlike when made with the store-bought tubes. Thanks to their high egg content, the crepes here are a sort of hybrid of the two in that they resemble fresh pasta but are super light and tender. They are also simple to make and to stuff (no more cracked pasta shells!). Resist the urge to cook the crepes in a nonstick skillet, which can cause scorching; a stainless steel pan is your best bet, allowing them to steam without the slightest sticking. One update to some original versions is that the filling is bound with mozzarella rather than an egg to keep the manicotti from being too firm. You can make the crepes and even assemble the whole dish ahead of time and then bake it just before serving.

Homemade Crepe-Style Manicotti image

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Combine the canned tomatoes in a large bowl, reserving the cans. Crush the tomatoes with your hands. Put the olive oil and garlic in a medium saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the garlic is translucent and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until warm, about 30 seconds, then add the tomatoes. Fill each reserved can halfway with water, swish to collect any remaining tomato juice and add to the pan. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 35 minutes. Stir in the whole basil sprigs, season with salt and black pepper and remove from the heat. You should have about 6 cups of sauce.
  • For the crepes: Puree the eggs, flour, milk, water and 1 teaspoon salt in a blender until smooth. Let rest at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  • Heat an 8-inch stainless steel skillet over medium-low heat (see Cook's Note). Pour 1/4 cup of the batter off center into the pan with a ladle or measuring cup, then swirl to coat the bottom. Cook until the crepe looks dry and pulls away from the sides of the pan, 1 to 2 minutes per side. The crepes should not take on any color. (It usually takes one or two tries to get it right so adjust the heat as needed.) Transfer the crepe to a plate. Continue cooking the crepes with the remaining batter, stacking them on the plate when they are done. You should have about 16 good crepes. At this point the crepes can be wrapped tightly and stored on the plate in the refrigerator up to 1 day.
  • For the filling: Combine the ricotta, mozzarella, Parmigiano, Pecorino, parsley, nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper.
  • To assemble, preheat the oven to 375F. Cover the bottom of each of two 9-by-13-inch baking dishes with 1 1/2 cups sauce (it is fine to also add the basil sprigs to the bottom of the dish if you like). Divide the filling among the crepes (about 1/4 cup each) and spread it in a line down the center of each crepe. Roll the crepes into cylinders (leaving the ends open) and fit them snugly in the baking dishes, seam-side down. Spoon 1 cup of the sauce in a line down the center of each baking dish (it will only partially cover the crepes). The manicotti can be assembled up to this point, covered tightly and refrigerated overnight; remove the covering before baking.
  • Cover the baking dishes with lids or aluminum foil and bake until the filling is heated through and the sauce is bubbling, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the cover, sprinkle with some Parmigiano and continue to bake until the cheese is melted and the edges are light brown, 5 to 10 minutes more. Heat the remaining sauce in a small saucepan or the microwave and serve alongside the manicotti.

Two 28-ounce cans whole, peeled D.O.P tomatoes (see Cook's Note)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 large cloves garlic, sliced
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes, optional
3 large sprigs basil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 large eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
3/4 cup water
Kosher salt
28 ounces whole-milk ricotta
1 cup shredded salted fresh mozzarella (from an 8-ounce ball)
1/2 cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano, plus more for sprinkling
3 tablespoons grated Pecorino Romano
3 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • To make the crepes, in a blender, combine the flour, water, eggs, and salt and blend, scraping down the sides of the bowl, until the batter is smooth. Transfer to a bowl. Heat a 6 to 7-inch skillet over moderately high heat until hot. Brush the skillet with about 1 teaspoon of the olive oil to coat well and heat the oil until hot. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the center of the skillet and lift and tilt the pan to coat the bottom with a thin layer. Cook until the batter is set and the underside is golden, about 1 minute more, and invert onto a plate. Make additional crepes with the remaining batter in the same manner. Crepes may be made 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Freeze for up to 1 month. Defrost in the refrigerator before using.) Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil a large shallow baking dish.
  • To make the filling, in a bowl combine all of the ingredients, except for the sauce.
  • To assemble, lay each crepe on a work surface, attractive side down, spoon 3 tablespoons of the filling down the center, and fold in the edges to enclose the filling. Fill the remaining crepes in the same manner. Spoon 1 to 1 1/2 cups of marinara sauce into the flameproof baking dish in an even layer. Arrange the crepes, seam side down, in the dish and spoon on enough of the remaining sauce to coat the crepes. (The dish may be assembled several hours or 1 day ahead. Cover and chill. Allow longer baking time if refrigerated.) Bake for 15 minutes, or until the crepes are heated through and their edges are slightly crisp. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan to taste and put the crepes under the broiler, about 3 to 4 inches from the heat, for 2 minutes, or until the top is golden.
  • In a deep skillet set over moderate heat, heat the olive oil until hot. Add the garlic and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until they're pale golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the tomatoes, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes have reduced and separated from the oil, 15 to 20 minutes. Add the red pepper to taste, if desired and simmer for 2 minutes more.
  • Yield: makes 4 to 6 servings

1 cup all purpose flour
1 cup water

Stuffed Manicotti with Fresh Marinara Sauce image

Steps:

  • Make the crepes (crespelle):
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and melted butter. Gradually whisk in the flour and salt until the mixture is smooth. Refrigerate for 1 hour until slightly thickened.
  • Spray an 8-inch nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Place the pan over medium heat. With a small ladle, pour about 3 tablespoons of the batter into the pan. Turn the pan at a 45 degree angle to coat the pan evenly so the batter forms a perfect circle. Cook the crepe only until lightly browned, about 30 seconds. Turn the crepe over with a spatula and cook the other side only until lightly browned, about 30 seconds. Slide the crepe onto a 12-inch platter and continue the process with the remaining batter. Stack the crepes between waxed paper so they don't stick. You can prepare these crepes a day in advance covered in plastic wrap in the refrigerator. No need to reheat the crepes before filling and baking.
  • Make the ricotta filling:
  • In a large bowl, add all the ingredients for the ricotta filling. With a large wooden spoon or spatula, stir all the ingredients until well blended. Store covered in plastic wrap in the refrigerator until ready to use. You can make this filling the day before.
  • Make the marinara sauce:
  • In a large heavy nonreactive saucepan with a lid, heat the olive oil on medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic and cook until fragrant but NOT browned. Add the crushed tomatoes to the pan and crush further with a potato masher. Simmer 30 minutes, slightly covered, on medium-low heat, stirring every so often.
  • Add the parsley, basil leaves and salt and pepper, to taste, and simmer for another 10 minutes until the sauce is slightly reduced. Taste and re-season as necessary.
  • Put it all together:
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Coat the bottom of a 13 by 9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish with 1 cup of the prepared marinara sauce.
  • Spoon 3 tablespoons of the prepared ricotta filling 1 inch from the edge of a crepe. Roll evenly into a log, keeping the filling even as you roll. Repeat with the remaining crepes. Place manicotti seam side down and side by side in the sauced baking pan.
  • Spoon 1 to 2 cups of sauce over the top of the manicotti. Sprinkle with the grated Parmesan.
  • Cover the baking dish loosely with foil and bake about 20 minutes. Uncover and bake another 20 minutes until the topping is golden brown and sides are bubbling. Let rest about 15 minutes before serving to firm up the manicotti filling.

3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups milk
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 cup all-purpose flour
Pinch salt
Vegetable cooking spray
1 pound ricotta cheese
1/2 pound shredded mozzarella cheese (in a 8-ounce bag)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley, finely chopped
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped fine
8 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
2 (28-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes (recommended: San Marzano)
1/4 cup Italian parsley, fresh, finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
Salt and pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

CHEESE-STUFFED MANICOTTI CREPES

I have to say that these are a bit more time consuming than just using manicotti pasta shells, but the extra time spent making these is well worth the effort! I have even added into the filling, a 10-ounce box of spinach that has been thawed and cooked in the microwave in 1/4 cup water for 5-6 minutes, then hand squeezed very dry, but that is only optional the filling is wonderful even without the spinach, if you decide to add in the spinach, then omit the fresh or dryed parsley. To save time make the crepes up to a day ahead, cover and refrigerate or you can freeze them for up to 1 month. Use you own favorite pasta sauce for this. You should get anywhere from 8-9 manicotti crepes with the amounts listed, I would strongly suggest to double the complete recipe!

Steps:

  • Set oven to 350 degrees.
  • Butter an 11 x 7-inch baking dish or a 9 x 9-inch baking dish (you can really use any size large enough to hold the crepes and the pasta sauce).
  • To make the crepes: In a bowl whisk together 1 cup water, flour, eggs and salt until very well blended (the batter will be thin, add in a bit more water if the batter is too thick).
  • Brush a skillet with oil over medium heat.
  • Ladle about 2-3 tablespoons of batter into the pan tilting the pan so that the batter coats the bottom.
  • Cook the crepe until the bottom is set (about 1 minute, but DO NOT brown, this should take about 1 minute).
  • Loosen the edges with a knife, turn the crepe and cook until second side is set (do not brown, this should take about 3 minutes).
  • Repeat with remaining batter, brushing with more oil if necessary.
  • To make the filling: In a bowl, mix ricotta, 1 cup mozzeralla cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, fresh garlic, parsley, salt and pepper.
  • Spread about 1 cup of pasta sauce in the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Spoon about 3 tablespoons filling down the center of the crepe.
  • Fold both sides of the crepe over the filling.
  • Arrange in the baking dish (seam side down).
  • Repeat with remaining filling and crepes.
  • Pour about 1 cup pasta sauce over the crepes (the sauce does not have to cover the crepes completely!).
  • Sprinkle with mozzeralla cheese (at this point you can cover and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking).
  • Bake for about 25-30 minutes.

Steps:

  • For sauce:
  • Chop tomatoes in processor. Heat oil in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until soft (do not brown), about 1 1/2 minutes. Stir in tomato paste, then tomatoes, basil and salt. Simmer until sauce thickens, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Set aside.
  • For filling:
  • Beat ricotta in medium bowl until smooth and creamy. Mix in 1 cup Romano cheese, eggs, prosciutto and minced fresh parsley.
  • For Crepes:
  • Mix eggs and water in blender. Add flour and blend batter until smooth. Let stand 30 minutes. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before continuing.)
  • Heat crepe pan or heavy small skillet over medium-high heat. Brush pan lightly with olive oil. Remove pan from heat. Stir batter and ladle 2 tablespoons into corner of pan, tilting so batter just coats bottom. Return excess batter to bowl. Cook crepe until bottom is set (do not brown), about 5 seconds. Loosen edges with knife. Turn crepe and cook until second side is set (do not brown), about 5 seconds. Repeat with remaining batter, stirring occasionally. (Can be prepared ahead. Layer crepes between sheets of waxed paper and cool completely. Wrap tightly and refrigerate 3 days or freeze 1 month. Bring to room temperature before using.)
  • For Assembly:
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Spoon 2 1/2 tablespoons filling down center of crepe. Place 1 mozzarella strip atop filling. Fold both sides of crepe over filling. Arrange seam side down in large baking dish. Repeat with remaining filling and crepes. (Can be prepared ahead. Cover crepes and sauce separately and refrigerate 1 day or freeze up to 2 weeks. Bring crepes to room temperature before baking. Rewarm sauce over low heat, stirring occasionally.)
  • Stir whole basil leaves into sauce. Pour sauce over crepes. Sprinkle lightly with additional Romano cheese. Cover tightly with foil. Bake until heated through, about 35 minutes.

FRESH-MADE MANICOTTI OR CANNELLONI CREPES SHELLS

This is really a crepe and not a shell, to be used in your favorite manicotti or cannelloni recipes. These are tender, and in my opinion the flavor is nicer than store-bought. The batter can be flavored by the addition of dried basil or oregano, or use your imagination. Simply place the filling in the center of each crepe vertically, then bring each side towards the center, placing seam-side down in your baking dish. Voila! You have a filled manicotti with none of the time and mess associated with trying to stuff a store-bought shell. I find this method alot more fun ! They will expand during baking so allow plenty of room in your baking dish.

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, blending and stirring until you have a smooth batter.
  • Place a small 13 cm (or 6 inch) dry non-stick skillet over moderate heat.
  • Ladle out 1/4 cup batter into the heated pan, and swirl to cover the bottom.
  • The crepe should set almost instantly.
  • As soon as the edges begin to dry and pull away from the pan, remove the crepe (this can be done with the fingers) and turn it over allowing the other side to cook quickly.
  • This should only take seconds.
  • See description above for filling your crepe.

MANICOTTI

It just wouldn't be a holiday without my mom preparing a pasta course, whether it precedes the turkey at Thanksgiving or follows antipasti at Easter. My mom's manicotti recipe (which comes from her Italian mother), feeds our immediate family of 40, but I've scaled it down to feed a smaller group of 6. The tender manicotti wrappers are made by quickly cooking a batter to form a pastalike crêpe.

Steps:

  • Make sauce:
  • Heat oil in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onion, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 6 minutes. Add garlic and sauté, stirring, until golden, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes with juice, water, sugar, and salt and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 30 minutes. Stir in basil and remove from heat.
  • Make crêpes:
  • Break up eggs with a wooden spoon in a medium bowl and stir in water until combined (don't beat). Sift in flour and salt, then stir batter until just combined. Force through a medium-mesh sieve into another bowl.
  • Lightly brush an 8-inch nonstick skillet with melted butter and heat over moderate heat until hot. Ladle about 1/4 cup batter into skillet, tilting and rotating skillet to coat bottom, then pour excess batter back into bowl. (If batter sets before skillet is coated, reduce heat slightly for next crêpe.) Cook until underside is just set and lightly browned, about 30 seconds, then invert crêpe onto a clean kitchen towel to cool completely. Make at least 11 more crêpes in same manner, brushing skillet with butter as needed and stacking crêpes in 3 piles.
  • Make filling and assemble manicotti:
  • Stir together ricotta, eggs, Parmigiano-Reggiano, parsley, salt, and pepper.
  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Cut mozzarella lengthwise into 1/4-inch-thick sticks.

MANICOTTI

If you choose to make the manicotti with pasta squares, fill and roll them on a damp towel-it will make them easier to handle. For a lighter, thinner sauce, add a little stock to the tomato sauce or to the baking dish after you add the sauce, or don't cook the sauce quite so much when you make it. If you have some fresh basil in the kitchen, tear some leaves and scatter them over the manicotti in the dish right before you bake them.

Steps:

  • Spoon the ricotta into a large, fine-mesh sieve or a colander lined with a double thickness of cheesecloth or a basket-type coffee filter. Set the sieve over a bowl and cover the ricotta well with plastic wrap. Let the ricotta drain in the refrigerator at least overnight, or up to 24 hours. Discard the liquid in the bottom of the bowl.
  • Make the tomato sauce and the crepes or pasta squares. (The crepes may be made up to one day in advance; the pasta squares up to several hours in advance.)
  • Whisk the eggs and salt together in a large bowl until foamy. Add the drained ricotta, the mozzarella cubes, 1/2 cup of the Parmigiano-Reggiano, the parsley, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir well until blended.
  • Preheat the oven to 425° F. Coat the bottom of each of two 13 × 9-inch baking pans (or any two pans into which the manicotti will fit comfortably) with 1/2 cup of the sauce. Working with one crepe or pasta square at a time, spoon 3 full tablespoons of the ricotta filling about 1 inch from the edge closest to you. Roll loosely into a cylinder, smoothing out the filling along the length of the tube as you roll.
  • Arrange the manicotti, seam side down and side by side, over the sauce in the baking pans. Spoon the remaining sauce over the manicotti and sprinkle them with the remaining 1/2 cup of the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Cover the baking dishes loosely with aluminum foil and poke the foil several times with a fork.
  • Bake 20 minutes. Uncover the dishes, scatter the grated mozzarella, if using, over the top of the manicotti, and bake until the edges are bubbling and the cheese topping is golden brown, about 20 minutes.

1 pound fresh ricotta cheese or one 15-ounce container whole-milk ricotta cheese
Tomato Sauce (page 151)
Crepes (page 162) or Cooked Pasta Squares (page 182)
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups cubed (1/4-inch) fresh mozzarella (about 6 ounces)
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1/2 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
Pinch ground nutmeg, preferably freshly grated
4 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese, grated (about 1 1/4 cups), optional

CHRISTMAS EVE MANICOTTI

My mother is full-blooded Sicilian. Christmas Eve we celebrated the Vigil and had 7 fish dishes. Since my children were not super fans of anything more than shrimp, I made manicotti to add to the squid and octopus they didn't like. The crepes and the fluffy cheese and spinach filling are sure to satisfy vegetarians as well.

Christmas Eve Manicotti image

Steps:

  • Whisk 4 eggs and 1/4 teaspoon salt together in a bowl; gradually whisk flour into eggs, alternating with milk, to make a smooth batter. Whisk melted butter into batter; refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  • Pour vegetable oil into a small bowl. Heat a small skillet over medium heat; brush skillet with vegetable oil using a pastry brush. Ladle in enough batter to lightly cover the bottom of the skillet, about 1/4 cup; swirl skillet to cover bottom completely. Cook crepe until it turns lightly golden brown on the bottom; flip and cook until other side has small brown spots. Repeat with remaining batter, brushing the skillet with oil as needed to prevent crepes from sticking; set cooked crepes aside between layers of waxed paper.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Lightly mix spinach, ricotta cheese, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, parsley, green onion, onion powder, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 eggs in a bowl until filling is thoroughly combined.
  • Spread 1 cup marinara sauce into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Place a crepe onto a work surface and spoon about 3 tablespoons filling, or more as needed, in a line down the center of each crepe. Roll crepe over filling and set into sauce in pan; repeat with remaining crepes and filling, laying filled crepes into pan. Spread remaining marinara sauce over filled crepes. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until bubbling and mozzarella cheese is melted and slightly browned, 20 to 30 minutes.
