Mini Lasagna Cups

lasagna noodles

Italian sausage

garlic

15 tomato sauce

tomato paste

Italian seasoning

salt (divided)

whole milk ricotta cheese

black pepper

mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease a standard size muffin tin. Cook lasagna noodles according to package directions. Cut 6 of them in half, lengthwise. Use a small cookie cutter to cut out 36 small circles from the remaining pasta.

In a large skillet, cook ground sausage until cooked through, and no longer pink, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add in garlic, tomato sauce, tomato paste, Italian seasoning, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, then remove from heat.

In a medium size mixing bowl, stir together ricotta cheese, remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper.

Line the bottom of each muffin cup with 1 of the cut out pasta circles. Curl each of the long strips into a ring to line the sides of each cup. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of sauce into the bottom of each muffin cup. Top with another layer of pasta circles and 1 tablespoon of ricotta mixture. Place remaining pasta circles on and another 1 tablespoon of meat sauce. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbling and slightly browned. Serve hot.

Easy to assemble and make ahead, these easy lasagna cups are perfect for portable meals on the go!

olive oil

onion

red bell pepper (chopped)

zucchini (diced)

garlic (minced)

tomato paste (1 can)

tomato sauce

14.5 oz diced tomatoes (1 can)

basil

oregano

bay leaf

sugar

salt & pepper (to taste)

oz Philadelphia Cream Cheese Spread (1 tub)

whole milk

parmesan cheese (grated)

mozzarella cheese (grated & divided)

pepper

21 lasagne pasta sheets

For the sauce- heat olive oil over medium heat and saute onions, pepper, zucchini and garlic until tender, 5 minutes. Stir in cooked ground beef and tomato paste until well incorporated. Stir in remaining ingredients and bring to simmer. Reduce heat to low and cook 30 minutes or so. {The longer it cooks, the better it will taste!} This will be very thick.

For the cheese filling- stir all ingredients together excluding half of the grated mozzarella cheese. Set aside.

For the pasta- Bring large pot of salted water to boil. Cook pasta sheets 2 minutes less than package directions and drain. Place pasta on greased baking sheet until you are ready for assembly.

For assembly- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 12 jumbo muffin tins with squares of parchment paper. If they don&#x27;t stay in on their own, that&#x27;s ok--the pasta will help with that. Line the edges of the muffin tins with 1 pasta sheet per cup. {Pasta sheet will overlap about 2 inches.} Spoon about 1/2 tablespoon of sauce into the bottom of each cup

Next cut 9 pasta sheets into quarters and press one of these pieces of pasta into the bottom on top of the sauce.  Top pasta sheet with a generous tablespoon of sauce and then a generous tablespoon of cheese filling.

Repeat this pasta-sauce-cheese layering one more time being sure to press out any air bubbles. Top these lasagna cups off with a 3rd piece of pasta, more sauce and the remaining mozzarella cheese. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until everything is hot and bubbly. Serve hot.
