Raise your hand if you like Lasagna Bolognese. How about lasagna baked in 12 minutes?

Yeah, now we are talking!

What ingredients are needed for Mini Lasagna Cups Bolognese?

You are going to love this recipe. First off, it's made with the best beef which is Certified Angus Beef. I like to use lean ground beef which eliminates the step of having to drain any grease after browning the meat. Typically, I buy 85% to 93% lean ground beef.

My local Shoprite has a great beef section with lots of Certified Angus Beef cuts. Their butchers are terrific and will gladly get you a special cut or order if you need it.

To make this recipe lighter, I use lower fat, part skim mozzarella and ricotta cheese. This lasagna also contains a small amount of grated Parmesan cheese to give the ricotta mixture more flavor.

I do love pasta and make it often. Typically, it is on my family's dinner table once a week. If we are not having Mini Lasagna Bolognese, you might see Pasta with Blush Sauce or Shrimp Linguini with Asparagus on our table.

Instead of pasta noodles, this lasagna bolognese uses wonton wrappers. They are the perfect size to make in muffin cups. The outside of the mini Lasagna Bolognese get a little crispy while the inside has the texture of perfectly cooked pasta.

How long does it take to make this lasagna dish?

This recipe takes under 40 minutes from start to finish!

The Bolognese sauce is made quickly in a frying pan. The meat is browned and then crushed tomatoes, spices and red wine make it extra delicious. Beef broth can be substituted for wine if desired but make sure to use a low sodium stock or broth.

This is a very thick and hearty meat sauce that gives the lasagna lots of flavor. There is also extra to serve on the side.

Sometimes I make the sauce the night before I assemble the mini lasagna cups. Just make sure to heat the sauce up before assembling if you chose to prep this way.

The mini lasagnas are very easy to assemble and then they are baked in the oven for only 12 minutes! I use this basic 12- count muffin pan that works well.

How easy is that?

What should be served with Mini Lasagna Bolognese?

My family loves this dinner and it is always the star of the show. So I like to serve it with something simple like an arugula salad or lemon roasted asparagus.

A special dinner needs some dessert so Honey Mint Lime Fruit Salad is great as a light choice. If you want something more decadent, Cannoli Cheesecake Stuffed Strawberries will satisfy your sweet craving but are also on the lighter side.

This is a great family dinner recipe but these lasagnas are also perfect for a party. The recipe makes 12 but it is fairly easy to double so you can serve a crowd. And everyone always likes mini food served at parties.
