Spinach and Ricotta Stuffed Crepe Bake

spin-ric-crepes

This Thermomix-made Spinach and Ricotta Crepe Bake was an idea I came up with, made and loved! I just love it when recipes come together so easily.

Mixing spinach and ricotta is a classic ingredient pairing and they always go well together! Adding in some mushrooms to the mix gives extra flavour and nutrition.

Stuffing this delicious filling into crepes, topping with the amazing hidden veggie sauce and cheese and baking in the oven makes a filling, nutritious meal.

It’s a meal best suited to the weekend. Reason being, it takes a bit longer to make than what I like to spend making weeknight dinners. But it’s VERY much worth it!

I actually really like the process of longer recipes like this. You can do bits and pieces and come and go.

The Thermomix is used to make the spinach and ricotta filling, the crepes, the tomato sauce and to grate the cheese for the top.

Actually it’s totally fine to make the crepes and the pizza/pasta sauce the day before. You could even make the filling the day before if preferred. Then construct and bake the day you want to eat it. Doing it this way is a huge time saver.

I’ve combined my two very popular Main Meals cookbooks into a book bundle to save you a few dollars, in the Thermobexta Main Meals Cookbook Collection.

These two books are the best collection of Thermomix main meals around and great value, with many meals offering both comprehensive vegetarian AND meat versions.

Of course they’re also available individually, here and here.

    I must admit, I was a little skeptical prior to making this but it was super yummy! All three kids gave the thumbs up and went back for more.
    Will definitely be making this one more often.
