Steps:
- have all of your lasagna ingredients ready (at the point where you would layer them in your lasagna pan). shove a lasagna noodle (or a part of one) into a cupcake liner, letting it run up the sides It's a big mess and that's fine. Next, pour some meat sauce on top. Cover that with one layer of lasagna innards (typically ricotta and mozzarella). Top with a square of noodle (again, it's totally imperfect), more meat sauce, and some Parmesan cheese. Bake the same way as you would method one: Put the filled liners into a baking dish (you can use the same type of dish you would use to bake lasagna).

LASAGNA CUPCAKES
Cupcakes are coming in all shapes and sizes these days but seriously...Lasagna Cupcakes? Is that even possible? It is! These Lasagna Cupcakes are easily made using all of the same ingredients in your classic lasagna with layers of meat, three types of cheeses, and pasta. Usually lasagna looks like a big gooey mess, but when it's in cupcake form it looks elegant and refined. Wonton wrappers are used as the pasta element in this lasagna, eliminating the nightmare and logistics of trying to make pasta noodles cupcake sized. Wonton wrappers are fresh little sheets of pasta that are perfectly sized for these lasagna cupcakes and because of their thinness, they cook up super fast. Just take a stack of wonton wrappers and place a drinking glass on top. Using a knife, cut around to the glass to make circle shapes.

LASAGNA CUPCAKES
I love these. You can make them fancy for your next dinner party or simple for the kids. They are so fun to do and great to make a day or so ahead. You can use any fillings you like. I prefer hamburger meat but you could use anything from spinach to sausage. I haven't had luck in finding round wonton wrappers to I cut the square ones and then line my cupcake pan. When you are done layering you can pipe ricotta on top to make it look like a real cupcake....I don't do that and found it is just as good.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- To start the lasagnas: Cook hamburger meat, season to taste, 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 meat and a spoonful of sauce. Repeat layers of wonton wrappers, cheeses, meat and sauce, creating 6 layers in all, and ending with sauce. Sprinkle each lasagna with reserved Parmesan and mozzarella.
- Bake until the lasagnas are nicely browned, about 20 minutes. Serve warm garnished with cherry tomatoes and basil leaves.
Tips:
- Use a muffin tin with 12 cups to make the lasagna cupcakes.
- Cook the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions and cut them into small pieces.
