I use a glass 9x5 loaf pan. Also the Barilla no boil lasagna sheets. They fit perfectly! You can use your favorite meat sauce and fillings and cheese ingredients like Chef John suggested. Layer up to the top. Don’t worry about the spaces on the inside of pan. It will all fill out as it cooks. Let it stand for 15 minutes before microwaving. Yes! I microwave! Cover with plastic wrap and cook at medium power for about 30 minutes. Uncover and let sit on counter for 15 minutes. I make a Mexican version also, using retried beans and taco meat and Jalapeño Jack cheese! Makes 4 to 5 servings.

Used to date a woman whose family came from Sicily. She made a lot of crepes at once from that batter, put a meat filling in them, rolled them lengthwise, placed them with sauce, etc into a baking dish. She said her family called it Banana Ravioli (due to the shape). Incredibly delicious!

Woohoo! Chef John FTW. Your soothing voice and original style keep me coming back. Now I just need to try your recipes!

My mother makes crepe cannelloni filled chopped chicken breast, spinach and ricotta. Rolled and covered in her marinara sauce and bechamel. Baked. It was a Christmas Day tradition. Melt in your mouth. Pure Holiday Joy.

This is the first of your recipes I've ever decided to make on my own despite being subbed for several years! I've always wanted to make one but I'm usually intimidated by the thought of cooking (especially for anyone who isn't just myself.) I thought this recipe looked simple enough for me to try though, and I ended up really liking what I made! Thank you so much for providing such fun dishes, I'm glad to finally have enjoyed one!

Thanks chef John. I've followed you for years, and have had many, many wonderful meals created by you. Thank you.

I made this last night, and I was super happy with how easy it was and convenient to make it for 1 (plus leftovers :) )

My mom do this pancake lasagna all the time! It's one of my favorites and tastes really good cold too.

I watch recipe clips on KZread pretty much every day. This channel is probably my favorite. The selection of food is so awesome. If I could change anything, I’d actually prefer if he said the exact amounts as he’s doing it so I don’t have to fish for the recipe but it’s fine. Hopefully he keeps making many more!!

Ohhh, I just spend all afternoon yesterday making individual lasagnas, I made like 10, put them on the freezer. They are great!

They say we eat first with our eyes. With you, it all begins with the ears! Thank you for bring joy to my tummy and smiles even before your wonderfully delicious recipes!!!

Thank you. I love finding recipes for 1 or 2. I can’t wait to make it (this week). Your recipes are always great!

My mother sort of "invented" such a recipe a couple of years ago and I am happy to see that other have been blessed by this idea of using pancakes for lasagna. The result is truly special!

Oh, this is the greatest dish, thanks Chef John! Just my speed-can't wait to try it.

I had to watch this!!! The pandemic shutdown has been very good for your creative juices, Chef John. And I just noticed that most cooking videos only show the cook eating one bite and raving over how good it is. But when you eat the whole thing, I’m more inclined to believe it’s very delicious.

This was so good! The recipe batch makes enough for 4-single servings. I just baked up the last 2 portions today for myself and someone else and it was great! I used Marcella Hazan's 3 ingredient tomato sauce for the marinara and it came out great. Thanks Chef John!

Honestly this is brilliant! I can see this being a staple for us; quick and easy. Thanks Chef John!!

Perfect timing! Chef John you make my day. Your voice I trust.

I always enjoy your videos! I just made your milk bread and it was perfect! Thank you for all of your time and effort and as always the great recipes! We love you chef John!

This is brilliant! I would never have thought of this. Making your own pasta via pancakes! Thanks, Chef! By the way, your voice alone is half the reason I love your videos. 😉

My Italian grandmother made a pasta dish that used crepes like these but rolled them up like a canneloni she called the "stracchi" (sp?) She made them for christmas eve every year and we devoured them. I always thought it was so much work but you made this look pretty doable. Thanks Chef John!

I made this with Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour (Gluten Free). It made 5 pancakes which I stacked in a round earthenware dish, following the same style as Chef John. First time we've had lasagne since the wife went gluten free. It was absolutely Delicious !!! Lasagna's back on the menu boys.

I love your commentary. Your off-tune Sentara singing followed by "Don't worry, I'm not quitting my say job -- I already did that." made me belly-laugh.

My mother made these crepes to make her Manicotti rather than use the pasta tubes. The ricotta filling also had some egg and parsley mixed in as well. Delicious and loved by family and friends. I didn't know until I was in my twenties that there were pasta tubes used in Manicotti because mom's (actually grandma's and probably great grandma's) recipe included the "home made shells" (crepes).

I dearly love Chef John's voice. It is informative and soothing all at the same time. Excellent recipe (except I'm lazy so I'll be buying pre-made crepes 😁).

i was waiting for the video to show him finishing the dish in one take, just like we all would. and what a great way to finish off a bottle or box of wine

Someone wanting to make a food video on You Tube should first watch food wishes.com and see how it should be done. Short, to the point, precise and no messing about. No unnecessary talking and lectures. The good humour is a bonus.

Glad you mentioned adding spinach, that’s my favorite! 🥰👍👍👍

Oh, I still made family style. Lasagna week was a staple of my bachelor days.

Hey Chef John, I just upgraded to Parmigiano Reggiano from Parmesan and I was completely blown away. I tried out actual Parmesan over the powdered stuff (I don't make pasta very often) and was already blown away, but this was just next level!

This was so delicious and so easy to make! I'm putting this in the rotation for dinner parties too
