Mix flour, eggs, and milk in a bowl until smooth.

Add melted butter and salt to the batter, stirring until well combined.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly grease with butter.

Pour a ladleful of batter into the skillet, swirling to coat the bottom evenly.

Cook until the edges lift and the bottom is lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes.

Flip the crepe and cook for another minute until set.

Repeat with remaining batter, stacking cooked crepes on a plate.

In a bowl, combine ricotta cheese, spinach, nutmeg, and black pepper.

Spread a spoonful of the filling onto each crepe and roll them up.

Place the rolled crepes in a baking dish and cover with tomato sauce.

Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top and bake at 180°C until bubbly, about 20 minutes.
