    Ricotta Cheese Crepes with Tomato Sauce


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    3/4 cup flour
    1 cup + 6 tbsp. Grated Parmesan cheese
    1 large egg
    Salt and pepper
    1 cup milk
    1/4 cup melted butter
    2 cups ricotta cheese
    2 egg yolks
    2 tbsp. Finely chopped fresh parsley
    1/8 tsp. Grated nutmeg
    2 cups tomato sauce

    Recipe



    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place the flour and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese in a mixing bowl. Add the whole egg and salt to taste. Add the milk, stirring with a wire whisk. Add half the melted butter. Use the batter to make 8 (7- inch) crepes in the usual way. Lay the crepes on a flat surface. Combine the ricotta cheese, egg yolks, parsley, nutmeg, 1 cup of the remaining Parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper to taste, and blend well. Spoon equal portions of this filling down the center of each crepe and roll it up. Spoon about 3 tbsp. of tomato sauce over the bottom of a baking dish (a rectangular dish 8 x 14 inches.) Arrange the rolled crepes in the dish, in one layer. Spoon the remaining tomato sauce over the crepes, and sprinkle with the remaining 2 tbsp. Parmesan cheese. Pour the rest of the melted butter over all. Place the dish in the oven and bake 20 minutes.
    4 to 8 servings.
