2. Bake the pancakes from the batter in a coated pan one after the other in hot clarified butter.
3. For the filling, defrost the frozen spinach leaves in the microwave, squeeze out the liquid well with your hands, chop a little if necessary and mix with the ricotta, freshly grated Parmesan and basil in a saucepan. Season well with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
4. For the tomato sauce, peel and finely chop the garlic. Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan and sauté the garlic in it. Drain the tomatoes from the tin a little (to a drained weight of approx. 450g) and add, season with salt, sugar, instant stock, dried Italian spices and a little nutmeg.
