Italian Cheesy Crepe Pillows

Here's a fabulous dinner my husband created last night! Its a twist on one of our favorites actually- stuffed manicotti shells! We didn't have any shells but since we had the ricotta he thought up something new and scrumptious!

So first he made the cheese filling, which again is what we put in manicotti shells usually.
15 oz ricotta cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 egg
1/2 tsp onion powder
1 clove pressed garlic
8oz frozen chopped spinach (squeeze it as dry as you can)
3/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
2 tsp minced fresh parsley
1/2 tsp black pepper

Then he made the spaghetti sauce, minus the meat, which you can find HERE.
And then he made the crepes, which you can find HERE.
He put a little sauce on the bottom of an 8x11 baking dish. The cheese mixture went into a large ziploc bag and piped a few tablespoons into the middle of a crepe, wrapped it up burrito style and laid it in the sauce.
Ten fit into the pan, and then he put a little more sauce and topped it with cheddar cheese.
And here it is, yummy and fabulous!
