Why You’ll Love Lasagna with Crepes
Lasagna with Crepes is literally what lasagna dreams are made of. This is not your traditional layered lasagna dish. These are thin, delicate crepes stuffed with flavorful beef and oozing with 🧀 mozzarella, and topped with a mixture of creamy bechamel and a fresh 🍅 tomato sauce. This savory crepe recipe is so good you will not miss, or probably even notice (!), they’re not made with lasagna sheets.
How to Prepare
👩🍳 Make my crepes recipe here: Easy Crepe Recipe and set aside. 🧈 In a pot on the stove over medium heat, add the butter. Once it’s melted, stir in the flour until a thick paste forms. 🥛 Now, slowly whisk in the milk and continue whisking until the sauce thickens. It should coat the back of a wooden spoon. Take it off the heat and set aside. 🔪 Use a sharp knife to finely dice the carrots, and onion and mince the garlic cloves. 🔥 In a large pan on the stove over medium-high heat, add the oil and let it heat up. 🥕 Then add the onions, carrots, and garlic and stir. 🥩 Add the ground meat to the pan and cook for about 10 minutes or until the water completely evaporates. 🌡️ Reduce the heat to medium-low and then stir in the tomato paste. 🧂 Add the oregano, paprika, and salt and stir. Then stir in the flour and broth. Cook for another minute, then remove from the heat. ♨️ Preheat the oven to 400F (200C). 🌀 Place the crepes onto your work surface. Add approximately 3 tablespoons of the meat filling and a sprinkle of grated mozzarella to each, and roll them up tightly. 🍅 Add 1-2 ladles of marinara sauce to the bottom of a 9 x13 baking dish and then nestle the crepes in tightly. 🥄 Next, pour the bechamel sauce on top and then spread it out evenly. 🧀 Spoon a little more tomato sauce over each crepe and then add grated Parmigiano cheese and mozzarella. ⏲️ Bake the Lasagna with Crepes uncovered in a preheated 400F (200C) oven until bubbly and golden for about 40 minutes. Let cool slightly and enjoy!
