    Cheese filled crepes topped with tomato sauce and parmesan, served in a dish with fresh parsley.

    Manicotti, made with tender egg crepes called Crespelle

    Being Italian has always meant pasta, but since my surgery, I do not eat macaroni. Hard line. I grab a meatball or have sauce over ricotta with lots of parmesan cheese. Once in a while I do make a pan of Manicotti but I use very thin eggy crepes called crespelle instead of pasta. They are easy to make and really delicious.
