Lasagna “Muffins”

Always eager to try out healthy, delicious, family meals that take minimal time to prepare, I was intrigued by this recent Babble.com recipe.  I like the option of only making a few muffins instead of a whole lasagna.  With that said, we always make 1 or 2 full muffin tins because my family loves eating these as leftovers. L. is always happy when I send her with this for lunch!

Here’s my take on this super-quick (about 25 minutes from start to finish including prep time!) recipe:

Ingredients:

-Egg Roll Wrappers
-Tomato Sauce
-Mozzarella, Ricotta and Cottage Cheese

Steps:

#1 Preheat your oven to 375.
#2 Coat a muffin tin with olive oil.
#3 Line each muffin cup with an egg roll wrapper (I used a small cup to help push them in.)
#4 Add a spoonful of tomato sauce into each cup.
#5 Add ricotta and cottage cheese (as well as any cooked veggies).
#6 Add mozzarella cheese to each cup.
#7 Fold extra egg roll wrapper back over the cup to seal.
#8 Add a small spoonful of tomato sauce on top and sprinkle mozzarella cheese.
#9 Bake for about 15 minutes (or until wrappers and topping look done).

To keep it super healthy, you can simply add veggies such as zucchini, spinach or mushrooms, and go light on the cheese.  

How’d mine turn out? I have literally made them three weeks in a row because it is so easy, and everyone in my family LOVES them. So when I know the day’s going to be one gigantic juggling act—this one’s definitely a go-to!
