this is extremely similar to an Argentinean (I'm sure it's heavily Italian inspired dish.

What i do differently is that i saute chopped onions and garlic in olive, then toss in the drained spinach for a few minutes. When I mix it in with the egg, ricotta and Parmesan cheese, I also add in a can of Deviled Ham. I think my grandma might also add a little bit of dried parsley, or maybe oregano, or maybe both? Hmmmm, I don't remember, but even just a little bit of italian seasoning would give it a nice touch.

I roll each "canelon" like a burritos and lay them side by side (leaving a little breathing room between each one cause it will swell up a bit. The sauce needs NO meat, it's a basic marinara sauce. Meet would ruin it. I've never used mozzarella either. But I guess you could sprinkle some shredded on top along with the Parmesan.

I'm actually making these for dinner tomorrow and come on here to check out if it was a posted recipe. This is the ONLY way my children will eat spinach.

I don't know how anyone would know how or what to a make a crepe with since there are no instructions for. I make my own mancotti (monagaut from scratch, so I do know. Also it's missing mozzerella in the mixture and NEVER MAKE A GRAVY WITHOUT MEAT!

This is the closest recipe I have seen to my grandmother's from Naples-it is much lighter using a basic egg crepe to wrap the manicotti, rather than store bought shells. Also, I would use fresh spinach, if available, but the frozen is fine, too. A basic marinara is all you need for sauce-NO MEAT!
