When I'm short on time, my inspiration in the kitchen wanes. I generally turn to Pinterest for new ideas but overlook anything that requires more than 2 star effort. I discovered Damn Delicious' Mini Lasagne Cups recipe and was instantly sold. Thought I would share the recipe because it's always good to know someone else has tried a Pinterest recipe and not failed. Not convinced? Here's the finished product first up!
This recipe conveniently creates individual servings and is perfect for a quick kids dinner or party favour. And in Damn Delicious' words, "miniature food always tastes better, right?".
Ingredients:
1 tablespoon olive oil
500 grams of mince or 2 Italian sausage links, casing removed (Damn delicious used sausage I opted for mince).
Marinara sauce, homemade or store-bought (I lazily used store-bought)
1 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
Salt and ground black pepper to taste
24 2-inch wonton wrappers
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
Parsley leaves
Method:
- Preheat oven to 190 degrees. Lightly oil 12-cup standard muffin tin or coat with nonstick spray.
- Heat oil in frypan, add mince until brown, about 3-5 minutes, making sure to cook through; drain excess fat and stir in marinara sauce.
- Season ricotta cheese with salt and pepper, to taste; set aside.
- Fit wonton wrappers into each of the 12 muffin tins, pressing carefully to make sure there is an opening in the centre.
- Fill each cup with 1 tablespoon ricotta cheese, 1 tablespoon of marina mix and 1 tablespoon of mozzarella. Then repeat with one more layer.
- Place into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until cheese has melted and the wonton wrappers are golden brown.
- Serve immediately and garish with parsley.
