FRESH-MADE MANICOTTI OR CANNELLONI CREPES SHELLS



Fresh-Made Manicotti or Cannelloni Crepes Shells image

This is really a crepe and not a shell, to be used in your favorite manicotti or cannelloni recipes. These are tender, and in my opinion the flavor is nicer than store-bought. The batter can be flavored by the addition of dried basil or oregano, or use your imagination. Simply place the filling in the center of each crepe vertically, then bring each side towards the center, placing seam-side down in your baking dish. Voila! You have a filled manicotti with none of the time and mess associated with trying to stuff a store-bought shell. I find this method alot more fun ! They will expand during baking so allow plenty of room in your baking dish.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Crepe Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 to 4 medium-sized shallots (6 ounces), chopped (1 cup)
1 can (14 ounces) artichoke hearts, rinsed, drained, and patted dry, coarsely chopped
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 pound spinach (from 2 large bunches), thick stems removed, cut into 2 inch pieces, thoroughly washed and drained
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 teaspoons unbleached all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups whole milk
1 packed cup (3 ounces) coarsely grated fontina or other melting cheese, such as Dutch Gouda or Gruyere
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
8 Simple Crepes or galettes (to make galettes, replace the all-purpose flour with buckwheat flour)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°, with rack in upper-middle position. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add shallots, artichokes, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown in places, 5 to 7 minutes. Add spinach, a handful at a time, until all spinach is wilted and tender and any excess moisture has evaporated; season with salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl to cool.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium-high. Whisk in flour and simmer until mixture darkens slightly and smells nutty, about 1 minute. Whisk in milk and bring to a vigorous simmer. Continue to simmer, stirring frequently, until mixture is just thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon with a thin film, 1 to 2 minutes; remove from heat. Stir in cheese and mustard until smooth; season with salt and pepper.
  • Fold 3/4 cup cheese sauce into spinach mixture. Working one at a time, spoon 1/3 cup spinach-cheese mixture into the center of a crepe. Lift edge nearest you up and over filling, then fold in sides and roll up like a burrito to make a 2-by-4-inch rectangular package. Transfer to an 8-by-8-inch baking dish and repeat with remaining crepe and spinach-cheese mixture. Pour remaining cheese sauce evenly over filled crepes in baking dish. Cover dish tightly with parchment-lined foil.
  • Bake on center rack 15 minutes. Remove parchment-lined foil and switch oven to broil. Continue cooking until cheese sauce bubbles and browns in places and crepes are warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results. Look for ripe tomatoes, flavorful cheeses, and tender crepes.
  • Make the crepes ahead of time: Crepes can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator or freezer. This makes it easy to assemble the cannelloni when you're ready to serve them.
  • Don't overcook the crepes: Crepes should be cooked just until they are set. Overcooking will make them tough and chewy.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Cannelloni can be filled with a variety of ingredients, such as ricotta cheese, spinach, mushrooms, and meat. Get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations.
  • Sauce it up: Don't forget the sauce! Cannelloni are typically served with a tomato sauce, but you can also use a béchamel sauce or a pesto sauce.
  • Bake until golden brown: Bake the cannelloni until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crepes are golden brown.

Conclusion:

Cannelloni is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little planning and preparation, you can make this classic Italian dish at home. Whether you're serving it for a special occasion or a weeknight dinner, cannelloni is sure to please. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give cannelloni a try!
