I saw these plastered all over Pinterest and thought I'd give them a try. They're super easy to make, and cook up quickly.
Not gonna lie though...I didn't like them. Neither did Jesse. Heath though...he ate almost all of them. He absolutely loved them.
Now, I knew even before I started making these what was going to happen to them, and that I probably wouldn't like them, and I was right. The top edges of each cup get hard and crispy. It's an odd texture to have in a little lasagna cup that, for the most part, is soft and chewy.
Jesse had the same issue. I tried cutting his up, and that helped a little, but in the end I made him a Schwan's cheeseburger.
I considered not posting these, but decided against it since there's absolutely nothing wrong with the recipe itself, it's just that Jesse and I didn't care for it. Heath did though, so I guess it just depends on the person.
Ok guys, have a great day! It's another day of resting for this Mama who just can't seem to fight off this....cold...flu...bronchitis...plague...whatever the hell I have. It's certainly more than a cold, but not as severe as the flu (besides, I got flu shot, so I refuse to admit it could be the flu). Who knows...I just plan to sit on my ass until I get better. I pushed myself this past weekend and I definitely think that set me back, so now I'm being extra careful!

'Mini Lasagna Cups'
Source: Adapted from Catching Fireflies
Ingredients
1 Jar marinara sauce
1 container of ricotta cheese (16 oz)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Parmesan cheese
1 package of won-ton wraps
Italian seasoning (to taste)
1/2 lb ground beef/sausage (if desired)
Directions
1. Heat oven to 375. Spray a muffin pan with cooking spray and place one won-ton wrap in each cup.
2. Layer a spoonful of marina sauce, shredded then Parmesan cheeses, and top with a second won-ton wrapper. Repeat layer of marinara and two cheeses.
3. Sprinkle Italian seasoning over-top and bake for 18-20 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
I have made these many times before. I found if you cut the wontons into circles the sticking up edges that get hard and meh vanish leaving a better tasting lasagna. Also they keep well frozen for lunches, I put them in cupcake paperwrapers to absorb any extra oil.
ReplyDeleteI made them for my family the day before thanks givings and most of my family liked the batch with circular wontons better then the batch I got lazy and made with squares.
That's a great idea! Thanks so much!
