No-Knead Bread<\/a>!\u00a0<\/p>\nFor the gravy (sauce):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- 2 – 28 oz. cans of crushed tomatoes (I use Tuttorosso)<\/li>\n
- 2 cloves garlic<\/li>\n
- pinch of granulated sugar<\/li>\n
- splash of olive oil<\/li>\n
- salt and pepper<\/li>\n
- 1 pound ground beef<\/li>\n
- 1 small yellow onion, diced<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- The easiest way to make gravy is in a crockpot – if you don’t have one, you can do it on top of the stove on medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Combine crushed tomatoes, garlic, sugar, olive oil, and salt and pepper.<\/li>\n
- Brown ground beef and onion in a skillet, and add to the tomatoes, let cook for an hour.<\/li>\n
- Remove garlic cloves.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
For the crepes:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- 2 cups flour<\/li>\n
- 2 large eggs<\/li>\n
- 1 cup milk<\/li>\n
- 1 1\/4 cups water<\/li>\n
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt<\/li>\n
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar<\/li>\n
- 1 tablespoon canola oil + extra for pan<\/li>\n
- wax paper cut in 2″ strips (to keep the crepes from sticking together)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- In a large bowl, whisk all ingredients together until the batter is smooth.<\/li>\n
- Lightly brush a 7″ non-stick skillet with oil, warm the pan over medium heat.<\/li>\n
- Pour in slightly less than 1\/4 cup of batter (approximately 3 tablespoons) into the pan, and swirl around until it covers the bottom. Let cook until it looks dry, turn the crepe over with a rubber spatula – let cook briefly on the other side, then turn out on a plate. Lay a strip of wax paper on top.<\/li>\n
- Repeat with the rest of the batter – makes about 24. At this point – the crepes may be stored in the fridge for a day. If you do decide to refrigerate them, let them come to room temperature before filling them.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
For the filling:<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/willceau.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Manicotti1.jpg?resize=500%2C375&ssl=1\")
<\/p>\n
\n- 32 oz. ricotta<\/li>\n
- 16 oz. shredded mozzarella<\/li>\n
- 1\/4 cup parmigiano-reggiano<\/li>\n
- 2 large eggs<\/li>\n
- salt and pepper<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- In a large bowl, combine all ingredients.<\/li>\n
- Put 2 tablespoons of filling on each crepe, roll up.<\/li>\n
- Preheat oven to 350\u00ba. Spoon gravy to cover the\u00a0bottom of a 9″ x 13″ pan.<\/li>\n
- Place the filled crepes, seam side down in pan, cover with more sauce. Bake for 30 minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
