Sprinkle with a few shreds of mozzarella and ½ tsp parmesan cheese. Add in a spoonful of the vegetable mixture and then 1.5 tsp of sauce. Then press in another wonton wrapper and repeat. Sprinkle some extra mozzarella and parmesan on the tops before placing them in the oven.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted on top and the edges of the wonton skins begin to brown. Enjoy! These are great as a main dish with a salad and make a great appetizer at a party.

LASAGNA CUPCAKES



Lasagna Cupcakes image

Provided by Aarti Sequeira

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h35m

Yield 12 cupcakes

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 whole cloves
One 1-inch cinnamon stick
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, finely diced (about 1 cup)
Kosher salt
1 pound mild Italian chicken sausage, casing removed
1/4 cup tomato paste
One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
Freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella, plus more for topping
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for topping
3/4 cup part-skim ricotta
1/3 cup mango chutney
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 package wonton wrappers (at least 48)
12 whole small fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • For the meat sauce: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil until it shimmers. Add the whole cloves and cinnamon stick, and remove after a few minutes. Add the garlic and onions, sprinkle with a little salt and saute until softened but not browned.
  • Add the sausage, breaking up the clumps with your spoon. Cook until the sausage is no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes, basil, as well as some salt and pepper. Stir to combine and simmer uncovered, for about 15 minutes, stirring every now and then. Allow the meat sauce to cool, about 15 minutes, before building lasagna cupcakes. As the meat sauce is cooking, prepare the ricotta filling.
  • For the ricotta filling: Stir together the mozzarella, Parmesan, ricotta and mango chutney. Season with salt and lots of pepper, about a teaspoon, and set aside.
  • To assemble the cupcakes: Pull out your favorite cupcake pan. If your pan is not nonstick, spray the cups with cooking spray. Place a wonton wrapper in each cup. Don't worry if you're using square ones.
  • Drop about 1 teaspoon of meat sauce into the bottom of each cup. Then add 1 teaspoon of ricotta filling. Then cover with another wonton wrapper, rotating it about 90-degrees so that the corners of the first wrapper and the second wrapper aren't right on top of each other. Repeat this until you've built three layers total. Top each with a small basil leaf, then another wonton wrapper. Finish each cupcake with a spoonful of meat sauce, a little shredded mozzarella and pinch of grated Parmesan.
  • Pop them into the oven and bake for 20 minutes. When time's up, resist the temptation to eat them right away or else you'll burn your mouth! Let them rest on the counter for about 10 minutes, and they should slip out of the muffin tin easily. Top with more shredded basil if you like.

CUPCAKE LASAGNA



Cupcake Lasagna image

Dweezil and Lisa love these Cupcake Lasagnas because you can customize each one - more sauce or more cheese, with or without spinach or even adding ground turkey or meat. They exemplify the Dweezil and Lisa's approach to food - you can make them as healthy or decadent as you prefer, and the individual size is perfect portion control. You can layer them traditionally or tint the ricotta cheese to create frosting with a cherry tomato and basil garnish to continue the deception. They freeze beautifully as well.

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

Tomato Sauce, recipe follows
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 to 4 cloves garlic, peeled
Pinch red pepper flakes
1 pound cleaned spinach
1/2 small lemon, juiced
1 package round wonton wrappers
8 ounces mozzarella, grated
3 ounces Parmesan, grated
4 ounces ricotta cheese (half reserved for frosting if desired)
8 cherry tomatoes, for garnish
8 small basil leaves, for garnish
3 tablespoons extra-virgin oil
6 cloves garlic, peeled
Ground black pepper
6 fresh basil leaves
1 cup dry white wine
3/4 teaspoon beef bouillon paste
3/4 teaspoon vegetable bouillon paste
2 (28-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes (recommended: San Marzano)
3 whole carrots, peeled and cut into large pieces
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Prepare the tomato sauce.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • To start the lasagnas: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic cloves and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring frequently, until the garlic is golden, about 5 minutes. Remove and discard the garlic. Add the spinach, a handful at a time, and stir-fry until it wilts, about 3 minutes. Add the lemon juice then transfer the spinach to a colander set over a bowl to drain.
  • Reserve 8 tablespoons of Parmesan and 8 tablespoons of mozzarella¿this will be the topping. The remaining cheese will be used in the lasagnas (note you can vary the amount of cheese to taste keeping in mind that the Parmesan is salty, the mozzarella is sweet as well as salty and helps to hold the lasagnas together, and the ricotta is sweet and creamy).
  • Start assembling the lasagnas. Line each cupcake mold with a round wonton wrapper. Put a little Parmesan, a little mozzarella, and a little ricotta into each mold. Top with a little spinach and a spoonful of sauce. Repeat layers of wonton wrappers, cheeses, spinach and sauce, creating 6 layers in all, and ending with sauce. Sprinkle each lasagna with reserved Parmesan and mozzarella. (The "cupcakes" can alternatively be topped with Pink Ricotta Frosting. (See Cook's Note.)
  • Bake until the lasagnas are nicely browned, about 20 minutes. Serve warm garnished with cherry tomatoes and basil leaves.
  • Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat (it should coat the bottom of the pan, add a bit more if your pan is wide). Add the garlic cloves. Season with black pepper and cook, stirring frequently until the garlic is golden, about 5 minutes. Remove and discard the garlic. Lower the heat to medium and add the basil. Cook just until the basil wilts, then add the wine. Stir in the beef and vegetable bouillon pastes, then add the tomatoes and carrots. Simmer the sauce, stirring occasionally, until the carrots are soft and the sauce sweet, about 25 minutes. Discard the carrots. Season the sauce with salt and pepper then refrigerate or freeze until needed.

24 wonton wrappers
1 ¾ cups grated Parmesan cheese
1 ¾ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
¾ cup ricotta cheese
1 cup pasta sauce (such as Muir Glen®)
¼ cup chopped fresh basil, or to taste

Steps:

MOM'S SEAFOOD LASAGNA



Mom's Seafood Lasagna image

Growing up, I always loved when my mom made this lasagna. I changed a couple of things-no-boil lasagna noodles make assembly much faster. Also, I like the nutty, robust flavor of Romano cheese, so I added that, too.

Provided by Kardea Brown

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h45m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

Nonstick cooking spray, for the pan
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 pounds medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon seafood seasoning
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 pound lump crabmeat
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/2 cups shredded Romano
One 15-ounce carton ricotta
One 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
One 14-ounce can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Kosher salt
One 9-ounce package no-boil pasta noodles
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella
1/2 cup shredded Romano
Nonstick cooking spray, for the foil

Steps:

  • For the seafood: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp, garlic and seafood seasoning and cook until the shrimp turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the shrimp from the skillet.
  • Add the wine and lemon juice to the skillet, scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Bring to a simmer and cook until the mixture is reduced by half, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the shrimp and crabmeat.
  • Make the béchamel sauce: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until combined. Gradually add the milk, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture is thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the Romano until melted. Set aside.
  • Make the spinach-artichoke ricotta: Stir together the ricotta, spinach, artichoke hearts, mozzarella, breadcrumbs, lemon zest and egg until combined. Season with salt. Fold in 1 cup of the béchamel sauce.
  • Assemble the lasagna: Spread about 1/2 cup of the béchamel sauce in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Top with 3 to 4 lasagna noodles and about 2/3 cup béchamel sauce. Top with half of the spinach-artichoke ricotta and half of the seafood. Repeat the layers once. Top with the remaining 3 to 4 lasagna noodles and béchamel sauce. Sprinkle with the mozzarella and Romano.
  • Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil (coat with cooking spray before adding to the top to prevent the cheese from sticking). Bake, covered, until the lasagna is bubbly, about 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until the noodles are tender and the top is golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes longer. Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
