Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

  • Spray the muffin tin with cooking spray. Line the bottom of each muffin cup with a wonton wrapper. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of sauce onto the top of each wonton wrapper. Top with 1 to 2 tablespoons of ricotta mixture then sprinkle with mozzarella cheese. Place remaining wonton wrappers on top then another 1 tablespoon of meat sauce, ricotta and mozarella cheese until all the cheese is used up. There will be leftover meat sauce which can be served on the side.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 minutes or until lasagnas are cooked through and cheese is melted and bubbly. Cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing from the muffin tin. Sprinkle with fresh herbs if desired and serve with extra Bolognese sauce.
