Cannelloni Crepes with red meat sauce and cheese is one of my top list meals for guests. They are a traditional Italian recipe that most the time make happy everyone, kids and adults. These crepes are soft and very tasty, you can prepare a day in advance and just cook for 25 minutes before to eat your dinner.
I love eat crepes sweet or salty, they are soft and light. There are many recipes for their filling the most common for Cannelloni style are with spinach and ricotta cheese or meat sauce and mozzarella.
This is a family recipe, it is my brother favorite meal, and my mom is usually making for his birthday. Now l started to cook often too, since my husband discovery his delicious tasty, he asks to make for special dinner.
The recipe apparently looks difficult, but it isn’t if you follow step by step my recipe. There are three basic recipes that l combines together in this meal: basic crepes, red meat sauce ‘) and beciamella sauce (white sauce).
Hope you love this recipe like l do, if yes rate or share place so other people can enjoy too!
