Ingredients
Method
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, water, eggs, salt, and oil until completely smooth to make the crepe batter.
- Refrigerate the batter for at least 30 minutes to rest.
- Heat a 6-inch skillet over medium heat and lightly brush with oil.
- Pour about 1/3 cup of batter into the skillet, immediately tilting and rotating to spread it into a thin, even layer.
- Cook for about 1 minute until the edges turn golden brown and begin to lift from the pan.
- Carefully flip the crepe and cook for an additional 30 seconds until spotted with brown.
- Transfer the cooked crepe to a plate and stack with wax paper between each to prevent sticking.
- In a separate large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan, egg, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper to make the filling.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spread a thin layer of marinara sauce in a 13x9-inch baking dish.
- Place about 1/4 cup of the cheese filling down the center of each crepe, then roll it up.
- Arrange the rolled manicotti seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Spoon the remaining marinara sauce over the manicotti and sprinkle with 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the manicotti are heated through.
Notes
Make the crepe batter ahead of time and refrigerate overnight for easier assembly.
