Cheesy Spinach Ricotta Roll

CHEESY SPINACH RICOTTA ROLL This recipe came from an estate sale. I obtained it when I purchased the family collection from the Hartman Estate in Arlington, Texas in 1984. 12 ounces fresh spinach cooked 2 cups ricotta cheese 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped 3 eggs whites 1 cup all purpose flour 1-1/3 cup water 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese finely grated 2 cups marinara sauce Olive oil Preheat oven to 325. Season spinach with salt and pepper then set aside. Mix ricotta cheese with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley then set aside. Mix together egg whites, flour and water then beat with a wire whisk to get rid of lumps. Lightly coat a crepe pan with olive oil and heat to medium then ladle 2-1/2 tablespoons batter into heated pan. Crepe batter should lightly cover the bottom of the pan in a thin layer. Tilt pan to cover evenly. When edges of crepe turn lacy and brown and crepe is cooked through remove crepe and stack on a plate. Continue until all batter is used. When the crepes are cooked assemble the rolls by spooning 2 rounded tablespoons of ricotta cheese mixture and 1 tablespoon spinach mixture. Fold each crepe to seal in mixture. Place rolled crepes in a greased rectangular casserole dish. When pan is full spoon marinara sauce over crepes and bake at 325 for 20 minutes. Serve with Parmesan cheese.
