Lasagna Cupcakes are made using all your favourite ingredients with three flavours of cheese, layers of meat and pasta. All assembled to make an elegant savory treat.

In this recipe I have used wonton wrappers instead of pasta, this helps eliminate the nightmare of folding and manipulating into small cupcakes.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 40 Minutes

Makes:6 Lasagna Cupcakes

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Marinara Sauce
  • 12 ounces Ground Beef
  • 12 Wonton Wrappers
  • 8 ounces shredded Mozzarella
  • 3 ounces Parmesan Cheese
  • 4 ounces Ricotta Cheese
  • Basil for garnish (optional)

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. Brown beef and season with salt and pepper. Drain.
  3. Cut wonton wrappers into circle shapes using a biscuit cutter or using the top of a drinking glass. You can cut several at a time.
  4. Reserve 6 tablespoons Parmesan cheese and 6 tablespoon mozzarella for the top of you cupcakes. Start layering your lasagna cupcakes. Begin with a wonton wrapper and press it into the bottom of each muffin tin. Sprinkle a little Parmesan cheese, Ricotta cheese, and mozzarella cheese. Top with a little meat sauce and marinara sauce. Use around 1-2 teaspoons of all the ingredients depending on your personal preference.
  5. Repeat layers ending with marinara sauce. Top with reserved Parmesan and mozzarella cheese.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until edges are brown. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. To remove use a knife to loosen the edges then pop each lasagna out.
  7. Garnish with basil and serve.

Great served with a green salad and homemade fries. For a great and easy recipe for fries check out Annabel Langbein’s Recipe here
