Mini Lasagna Cups Recipe

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 Italian sausage links, casing removed

1 cup marinara sauce, homemade or store-bought

1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

24 2-inch won ton wrappers

1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

 Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly oil a 12-cup standard muffin tin or coat with nonstick spray.

Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add Italian sausage and cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to crumble the sausage as it cooks; drain excess fat and stir in marinara sauce.

Season ricotta cheese with salt and pepper, to taste;

Fit wonton wrappers into each of the 12 muffin tins, pressing carefully to make sure there is an opening in the center. Fill each cup with 1 tablespoon ricotta cheese. Top with 1 tablespoon marinara mixture and 1 tablespoon mozzarella cheese; repeat with one more layer.

Place into oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the wonton wrappers are golden brown.

Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
