Picture this: a cozy evening spent indulging in the heavenly aroma of homemade crespelle, where every bite is a warm hug filled with gooey cheese, vibrant marinara sauce, and a sprinkle of fresh basil that whispers, “You’re exactly where you need to be.”

I love making Crespelle Alla Marinara. It combines the rich flavors of Pomì marinara sauce and creamy mozzarella and Parmesan.

The savory crescelle, made from a simple blend of all-purpose flour, milk, and eggs, are filled with a delightful combination of cheeses and fresh basil. I think the dish is enhanced by a subtle depth from the blend of olive oil and garlic and by the herbaceous notes of oregano.

These crescelle are loaded with calcium and protein, and they’re a perfect vehicle for getting even more nutrients in a delicious way.

How to Make this Crespelle Alla Marinara For Pomi Recipe

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, milk, eggs, olive oil, and salt. Whisk them together until smooth to form the crespelle batter. Let it rest for 30 minutes.

2. Preheat an over medium heat non-stick skillet. Lightly grease with butter and pour a small amount of batter into the pan, swirling to cover the bottom. Cook until the edges begin to lift, then flip to cook the other side. Continue until all crespelle are cooked.

3. Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to start. Then, take a saucepan and place it over medium heat. Pour into it some Pomì marinara sauce. Let the sauce warm up while you add some minced garlic and dried oregano. Stir these additions into the sauce and cook everything in the saucepan together until it smells so good you could almost serve it by itself. That should take about 2 minutes. When the sauce is done, set it aside.

4. Spread a spoonful of marinara sauce over each crespella, then sprinkle on some mozzarella cheese.

5. Gently roll each crespella and place it in a prepared baking dish, seam side down.

6. Over the rolled crescents in the dish, pour the marinara sauce that remains.

7. Evenly sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on the crespelle.

8. In the preheated oven, bake for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbling.

9. Take it out of the oven and allow it to cool for a bit. Put fresh basil on top.
