Spinach and Ricotta Filled Crepes is a super simple and quick dinner recipe that can be made in just under an hour. The crepes are made healthy as they are made from whole wheat flour and oat flour and when filled with Spinach and ricotta makes it nutritious and filling too. I often use either tofu or even paneer in place of ricotta cheese making it just as tasty and delicious. I like to top my crepes with a very basic and quick cream sauce, but you can also optionally top it with some marinara sauce as well.
