Delia shares her recipe for ‘crespelle’, a very popular dish over central and northern Italy. There are lots of different fillings, but mushroom is a favourite.
For the mushroom sauce: 500g mushrooms, 2 garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons chopped parsley. The butter-less white sauce is 80g plain/all purpose/0 flour, 1 litre semi-skimmed milk, nutmeg, salt.
For the pancake/crepe batter: 3 eggs, 20 grams melted butter, 500ml milk , 250grams plain/all purpose/0 flour, salt.
Thank you the area vivos filamento okay okay fundi Italian lives with her husband Angelo in spilemberto close to moderna their town is surrounded by Rolling Vineyards and Woodlands ideal for mushroom hunting in fact today Dahlia is making crisp Bailey with mushroom filling these are similar to cannelloni but use Crepes instead of pasta
Delia chops up two garlic clovers and softens them in olive oil she’s using oyster mushrooms for this dish her Preferred Choice is fresh porcini mushrooms but these were not in season when we visited foreign she puts the stalks to one side to use in a soup she slices about 500 grams of mushrooms
Yo honey by the way are also known as Poplar mushrooms Delia and Angelo love mushroom foraging together and have done for decades she Seasons the mushrooms with salt and adds a splash of homemade cognac as it’s homemade I had to try some for research purposes Delia finely chops a handful of parsley
And adds it to the mushrooms these need to fry for around 20 minutes to make sure they release all their liquid next she makes a white sauce without butter she measures 80 grams of zero flour grates plenty of nutmeg adds a pinch of salt and then pours in a liter of semi-skimmed milk
She whisks the mixture constantly with the pan over a low heat until the sauce thickens Ive Delia test the mushrooms are cooked enough she removes some of the Bechamel for later use foreign s the rest into the mushrooms and gives everything a good stir Dahlia prepares the pancake batter she
Whisks together three eggs 20 grams of melted butter 500 mL of milk and 250 grams of zero flour she Seasons the resulting batter with salt Dahlia Heats a little oil in her pancake pan the batter should be the consistency of pouring cream she adds one Ladle full
And tips the pan to cover the base um once bubbles have formed it can be turned over Angelo takes over the production line the Elia spoons a little of the mushroom sauce into a baking tray and spreads it out evenly she takes a crepe and dollops a spoonful
Of mushroom onto it followed by a slice of ham grated mozzarella and 30 month aged parmigiano she rolls it up tightly and places it into the tray Crispelli can be stocked with all sorts of fillings such as ricotta or asparagus but Delia’s husband’s favorite is with mushroom ocean she repeats the process until the tray is packed tightly okay the sauce goes on top with a generous sprinkling of parmigiana for a Golden Crisp top
She bakes the crisp belly in a 180 degree celsius oven for 20 minutes while it Cooks daily shows us the porcini she and Angelo have foraged she has a good tip for keeping her porcini bug-free Montana is infinito she likes to add dry porcini to risottos or meat dishes for some extra flavor

These look unbelievably delicious! And I was just thinking about what to cook with my just purchased porcini mushrooms! ❤🤩
Boa, das sieht sooooo lecker aus🤤👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Research purposes XD
It's been a very dry summer and autumn, so I'm not surprised they have had to fall back on [cough, cough] shop=bought mushrooms. Hence the comment about an 'insipid' result.
Fact is, when you know your mushrooms and your recipe, woodier substitutes will not do.
Well done, Pasta Grannies, for keeping it real! Italians know what they like in their favourite recipes and they are not afraid to say it loud and clear. Good for them and for PG!
What a tasty dish! I will enjoy making this! Many thanks for Delia and her husband for sharing this wonderful recipe!
Yum, yum, yum! Does she say the reason for no butter in the white sauce?
Oooh, can't wait to try to make this. The crepes are very similar to the pfannekuchen my German family makes. Never thought to stuff and bake them for dinner rather than breakfast!
Oh, wow! Ham and cheese and mushrooms. I just finished my lunch and I'm still sitting absolutely swooning over this. I can't wait to try it. Any idea how well it freezes? I'm single and that's not a recipe that you can just make a serving of. I'm thinking , before it's baked. But should I make fresh bechamel to go on top, or can I freeze it with it on already?
My God, that must be so good!
Hi grannie! Do you have a good puff pastry recipe?? I get tired of going to the supermarket so often for them… plus they are expensive!! Thank you.
Fantastic. And she's wearing blue jeans.🙂
That dish looked absolutely amazing! I wanted to reach thru the screen & have a bite! Thanks for sharing.
As a mushroom lover, I will absolutely try this recipe! Took impeccable notes while watching the video a 2nd time so I do it right!
Oh my goodness!! Just splendid. Not only was my mouth watering with delight but, so were my eyes!! God bless and protect Vickey and the Pasta Grannies🙏❤😘
WOW! That looks absolutely amazing. My mouth was watering the whole time. I just hope I can make it as good as nonna did
mmm…so good! 💗
My town❤
Wild mushrooms freshly foraged and home made cognac. Keep up the research! This couple is adorable but I wanted to reach through the screen to taste it. It must have been heavenly! Thanks for another great episode.
Such an adorable, cute couple! And the crespelle looked delicious, I will definitely try the recipe soon!
😋😋🤤😻💓💓💓💓🥘🥘🥘🧀🍲🍲🍲🍲🍲😢😢😭😭🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡💞💞💞💜💜💜💜💜💜💕💕💝💖💖💖💖
My son would love those 👍🥰
This recipe reminds me very much of the rosette alla modenese (cheesy baked pasta 'roses') made by Carla and posted in April 2022. This makes sense because the town where Carla lives and the town where Delia lives border one another. The bechamel sauce that both women use is also employed as part of the recipe for lasagne as prepared in the region of Emilia.
I just made this for today and it was fantastic! Thank you!
I knew this was in Northern Italy when I saw the word crepes in the title.
she is my aunt, I can assure you that those crespelle are really delicious!!! 😋😋😍
così si fanno
Very good!
My mouth watered while watching this one. I'll be trying to recreate this at home in the near future!
💯💖💖💖💖💖💖🇬🇷
Fenomenali!❤
