Make an easier version of lasagna and let each person have their own serving with these delicious lasagna cups. Serve with a salad and garlic bread, if desired.
1 T. olive oil
2 Italian sausage links, casing removed
1 c. marinara sauce, homemade or store-bought
1 1/2 c. ricotta cheese
kosher salt, to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
24 two-inch won ton wrappers
1 1/2 c. shredded mozzarella cheese
2 T. chopped fresh parsley leaves
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly oil a 12 cup standard muffin tin or coat with non-stick spray.
Heat olive oil in a large stockpot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add Italian sausage; cook until browned, about 3-5 minutes, crumbling sausage while cooking; drain excess fat; stir in marinara sauce.
Season ricotta cheese with salt and pepper, to taste; set aside.
Fit wonton wrappers into each cup 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.
Bake 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the wonton wrappers are golden brown.
Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
