Tips:
- Make sure to use a good quality pasta sauce. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the dish.
- Don't overcook the pasta. It should be al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
- Grate your own cheese. Pre-shredded cheese often contains additives that can make the sauce grainy.
- Use a variety of cheeses. This will give the lasagna cups a more complex flavor.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different fillings. You can add vegetables, cooked meat, or even seafood to the lasagna cups.
- Serve the lasagna cups immediately after they are baked. They are best when they are hot and bubbly.
