Stuffed Crepes by Kyra Martin

I loved this! It was basically a fun new twist on lasagna. The tomato sauce was really simple, but delicious. It'd be great to use on loads of other things. I got this from The Essential Mediterranean Cookbook.

Gnocchi by J. Gino Genovesi

If you have never had gnocchi, you are in for a great dish. I refer to my dish as Gnocchi even though the dough contains no potatoes.. Many areas refer to this dish as Cavetelli.
