How to Prepare Cannelloni with Crepes

Preparing the Crepes:

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the eggs and flour, mixing well.
  2. Gradually add the water while stirring until you get a smooth batter.
  3. Add the salt and melted butter, mixing again until fully incorporated.
  4. Heat a non-stick pan and melt a small amount of butter. Pour a ladleful of batter into the center of the pan, spreading it evenly.
  5. Cook until the crepe is set and lightly golden, then flip and cook the other side. Remove and set aside.
  6. Repeat the process until all the batter is used.

Preparing the Filling:

  1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened.
  2. Add the minced meat and cook until its color changes.
  3. Add the spinach, salt, black pepper, and chopped tomatoes. Stir well and cook until the ingredients are fully combined and cooked through.

Preparing the Sauce:

  1. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened.
  2. Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato juice, salt, and black pepper. Stir well and cook until the mixture thickens.

Assembling the Cannelloni:

  1. Lay each crepe flat on a clean surface. Spread a portion of the filling along one edge, then roll the crepe tightly into a log.

  3. Pour the tomato sauce evenly over the crepes.
  4. Drizzle the cooking cream on top, then sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese over the entire dish.
