Crepes Florentine Torte  

An Italian filling of Ricotta and
Taleggio cheeses, basil, tomatoes, and spinach is layered between homemade crepes and baked lasagna-style.
 
 

 

INGREDIENTS

2 1/2 cups prepared red pasta sauce
3/4 cup Ricotta cheese
1/2 cup finely chopped toasted pine nuts
1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
  Salt and pepper
7 (8-inch) crepes
3/4 cup shredded Taleggio cheese
 



METHOD

Spoon all but 1/4 cup of the tomato sauce into a large bowl. Add the Ricotta cheese and pine nuts followed by the spinach. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Preheat the oven to 425°. Place a crepe in the bottom of a pie pan coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick. Spread the crepe with 1/3 cup of the spinach mixture and sprinkle with the Taleggio cheese. Repeat the layers, ending with a crepe on the top. Spoon the remaining tomato sauce over the crepe and top with the remaining cheese. Bake for 15 minutes or until heated through.
