Summer Veggie Lasagna Cupcakes Recipes

LASAGNA CUPCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
• Heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Once it becomes fragrant, add the peppers, zucchini, spinach, basil, salt, and pepper. Saute until just tender.
• Spray the muffin tin with nonfat cooking spray and press 1 wonton wrapper into each muffin cup. Then place 1 tsp of ricotta cheese on top of the wonton wrappers. Sprinkle with a few shreds of mozzarella and ½ tsp parmesan cheese. Add in a spoonful of the vegetable mixture and then 1.5 tsp of sauce. Then press in another wonton wrapper and repeat. Sprinkle some extra mozzarella and parmesan on the tops before placing them in the oven.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted on top and the edges of the wonton skins begin to brown. Enjoy! These are great as a main dish with a salad and make a great appetizer at a party.

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Drain and discard grease from the beef.
• Cut wonton wrappers into 2 1/4-inch circles with a biscuit cutter. Press one wonton into the bottom of each muffin cup. Sprinkle even amounts of Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and ricotta cheese into each muffin cup; top each portion with even amounts of ground beef and pasta sauce.
• 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.
• Bake in preheated oven until edges of 'cupcakes' are browned, 18 to 20 minutes; let cook in tins for 5 minutes before running a knife around the edges of the cupcakes to loosen the edges to remove. Garnish with fresh basil to serve.
