Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

One 24-ounce bag frozen spinach and cheese ravioli
4 tablespoons olive oil
One 14.5-ounce can chopped tomatoes
1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1 small carrot, chopped
1 clove garlic
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded part-skim mozzarella
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan

Steps:

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the ravioli and cook according to the package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool enough to handle.
Position an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Brush the cups of a 12-cup muffin tin with 2 tablespoons of the oil. Set aside.
Combine the tomatoes, Italian seasoning, carrot, garlic and remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a blender. Blend until well combined but not entirely smooth, about 20 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
Spoon 1/2 teaspoon sauce into each oiled cup, top with a ravioli, then with 1 teaspoon sauce and 1 teaspoon mozzarella. Repeat twice so that each cup has 3 raviolis layered on top of each other with sauce and mozzarella. Evenly divide the remaining sauce among the cups. Top each with 1 tablespoon mozzarella and 1/4 teaspoon Parmesan. Bake until the top of each lasagna is golden brown and bubbly, 18 to 20 minutes.

Tips:

Use a variety of cheeses to create a flavorful lasagna. Try using a combination of mozzarella, ricotta, and Parmesan cheeses.
Add your favorite vegetables to the lasagna cups. Some good options include spinach, mushrooms, zucchini, and bell peppers.
If you're short on time, you can use pre-made lasagna noodles. Just be sure to cook them according to the package directions.
Serve the lasagna cups with a side of marinara sauce and garlic bread for a complete meal.
