Ingredients
  

  • 12 wonton wrappers
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray.
  3. Press one wonton wrapper into each muffin cup, allowing the edges to hang over the sides.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  5. Spoon a layer of the ricotta mixture into each wonton cup, filling them about halfway.
  6. Add a spoonful of marinara sauce on top of the ricotta layer, followed by a sprinkle of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
  7. Repeat the layering process until the cups are filled, finishing with a layer of marinara sauce and a generous topping of mozzarella cheese.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Let cool for a few minutes before carefully removing the mini lasagna cups from the muffin tin.
  10. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired and serve warm.
