Three Cheese Manicotti - Crepe Style

"After reading a recipe in EveryDay with Rachael Ray, I made a few adjustments to suit what I had on hand and what we prefer and came up with this. We loved it! Its a little lighter than regular manicotti because of the crepe noodles. And they are very easy to make. Do not be intimidated by the non-use of store bought manicotti."

directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine cottage cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella, italian seasoning and milk. Note: If you use ricotta cheese, please increase milk to 2 tablespoons.
  • Brown hamburger and italian sausage. Drain and return to pan. Stir in spaghetti sauce and evaporated milk. Set aside.
  • In a bowl, whisk the eggs and water. Whisk in the flour.
  • Heat a greased 8-inch nonstick skillet over medium heat. Ladle 1/4 cup batter into the pan, swirling to cover the surface of the pan. Cook for 1 minute, flip and cook for 1 minute more. Repeat with remaining batter, greasing the skillet after each crepe. Stack the crepes on a plate.
  • Spread half of the meat sauce into a 9x13 baking dish. Spoon the cheese mixture down the center of each crepe; roll closed. Arrange crepes in baking dish and cover with remaining meat sauce and cheeses. Bake for 25 minutes.

  1. ***MADE FOR SPRING PAC 2009*** This recipe was fantastic. I had never made crepes before, and I don't know what I was worried about. I did a pretty good job, if I do say so myself. I used my own spaghetti sauce, because I haven't found a canned I liked yet. Other than that, I followed everything. I love the evaporated milk in this, it gives it a smoothness. I will make this again, but maybe next time, I will use either shells, or manicotti. Thanks rbrynsaas for posting such a great recipe.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I went to culinary school for a year and a half, but did not finish due to the arrival of my daughter. I love baking and cooking, but with a 3 1/2 year old and a one year old, I keep it very simple!!! Recipezaar is definitely my go to place for recipes...both elaborate and simple. I work as an office manager in a nursing home. Its a great job, despite having to deal with losses all time. I guess its helped me be a more compassionate person towards other people in their losses though, which is a good thing. Besides spending time with my family, I love to read, play sudoku, and do my bible study. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg"> <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg">
