Muffin Tin Lasagna Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Brown ground beef, drain.
• Add sauce to beef and simmer while cooking noodles.
• Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions, but 2 minutes less time. Drain and place flat on greased cookie sheet.
• Mix cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, 1/2 the mozzarella, ricotta cheese, pepper and the egg.
• Line 12 jumbo muffin cups with squares of parchment paper, big enough to cover the sides.
• Line the sides of cups with one sheet of pasta. It should overlap about 2 inches.
• Spoon 1/2 tablespoon sauce into each cup.
• Cut 12 pasta sheets in thirds.
• Place 1 piece of pasta in bottom of cup, on top of sauce.
• Spoon 1 good tablespoon sauce, then 1 good tablespoon cheese and another piece of pasta. Repeat.
• Top last piece of pasta in each cup with sauce and remaining mozzarella cheese.
• Bake 25-30 minutes or until bubbly.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a bowl, mix egg, ricotta cheese and 1-1/4 cups Italian cheese blend., Generously grease 12 muffin cups with oil; line each with a wonton wrapper. Fill each with 1 tablespoon ricotta mixture and 1-1/2 tablespoons pasta sauce. Top each with a second wrapper, rotating corners and pressing down centers. Repeat ricotta and sauce layers. Sprinkle with remaining cheese blend., Bake until cheese is melted, 20-25 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• For the meat sauce: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil until it shimmers. Add the whole cloves and cinnamon stick, and remove after a few minutes. Add the garlic and onions, sprinkle with a little salt and saute until softened but not browned.
• Add the sausage, breaking up the clumps with your spoon. Cook until the sausage is no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes, basil, as well as some salt and pepper. Stir to combine and simmer uncovered, for about 15 minutes, stirring every now and then. Allow the meat sauce to cool, about 15 minutes, before building lasagna cupcakes. As the meat sauce is cooking, prepare the ricotta filling.
• For the ricotta filling: Stir together the mozzarella, Parmesan, ricotta and mango chutney. Season with salt and lots of pepper, about a teaspoon, and set aside.
• To assemble the cupcakes: Pull out your favorite cupcake pan. If your pan is not nonstick, spray the cups with cooking spray. Place a wonton wrapper in each cup. Don't worry if you're using square ones.
• Drop about 1 teaspoon of meat sauce into the bottom of each cup. Then add 1 teaspoon of ricotta filling. Then cover with another wonton wrapper, rotating it about 90-degrees so that the corners of the first wrapper and the second wrapper aren't right on top of each other. Repeat this until you've built three layers total. Top each with a small basil leaf, then another wonton wrapper. Finish each cupcake with a spoonful of meat sauce, a little shredded mozzarella and pinch of grated Parmesan.
• Pop them into the oven and bake for 20 minutes. When time's up, resist the temptation to eat them right away or else you'll burn your mouth! Let them rest on the counter for about 10 minutes, and they should slip out of the muffin tin easily. Top with more shredded basil if you like.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook according to the package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool enough to handle.
• Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Brush the cups of a 12-cup muffin tin with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Set aside.
• Combine the tomatoes, Italian seasoning, carrot, garlic and remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a blender. Blend until well combined but not entirely smooth, about 20 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon 1/2 teaspoon sauce into each oiled cup, top with a ravioli, then with 1 teaspoon sauce and 1 teaspoon mozzarella. Repeat twice so that each cup has 3 raviolis layered on top of each other with sauce and mozzarella. Evenly divide the remaining sauce among the cups. Top each with 1 tablespoon mozzarella and 1/4 teaspoon Parmesan. Bake until the top of each lasagna is golden brown and bubbly, 18 to 20 minutes.

• Divide 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, half the ricotta cheese, 1/2 the ground beef mixture, and 1/2 cup pasta sauce, between the muffin cups and layer, respectively, atop the wonton wrapper; repeat layering with remaining wonton wrappers, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, remaining ricotta cheese, remaining ground beef, and remaining pasta sauce. Top the 'cupcakes' with remaining Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese.
