How to Cook Cheesy Tuscan Crepes Like an Italian (with Chef Gabe Bertaccini) 🇮🇹

How to Cook Like an Italian: Part 8 🇮🇹
Crespelle alla Fiorentina is Italian comfort food at its finest ❤️ The cozy Italian dish is a delicate alternative to classic manicotti, with soft, lacy crepes standing in for pasta. Yet this technique is far from unusual in parts of Italy. In Tuscany — particularly in Florence — crespelle have long been treated much like fresh pasta. These delicate Italian crepes are filled with creamy ricotta and spinach, then topped with béchamel and tomato sauce. It’s elegant enough for a dinner party and comforting enough for a cozy family dinner. Gabe completes the meal with his Cacio e Pepe Beans, which turn the butter beans in your pantry into a creamy, decadent side dish.

Which Italian classic should Gabe make next? Let us know in the comments below! 🇮🇹🍅
