These Mini Lasagna Cups are cute little servings of a favorite Italian dish, perfect for a snack or appetizer. Eat lasagna without the guilt.
Every once in awhile I buy these wonton wrappers because I find them extremely versatile. I’ve made several recipes with wonton wrappers, such as my Strawberry and Nutella Wontons, Turkey and Mushroom Rolls, and Mini Apple Pies in Wonton Wrappers. So I thought it was time for another savory recipe with these wrappers.
I actually made these lasagna cups back in January but I never got around to posting it, until now. The meat mixture is exactly the same as I used for my stuffed zucchini, I just made a lot then, so out of it I actually made three different dishes. In either case there’s ground beef, chorizo sausage and spaghetti sauce here. It’s really delicious.
Basically, you just cook the beef in a large skillet until it’s no longer pink, add spices and chorizo sausage. Next pour the spaghetti sauce over it and mix well. Then you coat a 12 cup mini muffin tin with cooking oil. Make sure you spray it well, you don’t want these babies sticking. Arrange a wonton wrapper in each cup and in each cup add a tablespoon of ricotta cheese. Add meat mixture then cheese and voila!
And that’s all she wrote. These mini lasagnas cups are super easy to make and they are extremely delicious. Not to mention they won’t make you feel so guilty as you eat them. 😉

May 20, 2016 at 10:38 amThis sounds great but can I make this early and serve later in the day or would the wonton wrappers get soggy?
Joanna Cismaru says
May 20, 2016 at 11:27 amWell they are best served right away because they can get a bit soggy later on.

July 7, 2016 at 11:26 pmYeah very good idea. Can create our own too with a mixture of baked beans and chicken or go veg with baked beans and mushroom, substitute for quiche too??

August 20, 2012 at 10:13 pmMy sister in law found this recipe for me. Our family loved them. I also made a taco version of this. Instead of ricotta cheese on the bottom, I used retried beans. Omitted the spaghetti sauce and added a tablespoon of taco seasoning instead. Fixed the rest as normal. Garnished with a dollop of sour cream and diced tomatoes right before serving. So good!

July 6, 2012 at 8:08 pmThese look great! One thing….you say to use “mini” muffin tins but it looks like you’re using a regular muffin pan. Are my eyes deceiving me?
jo says
July 6, 2012 at 8:16 pmHi Jen,
Well it’s mini to me, it’s the small one, not the one for the jumbo muffins. So I guess you’re right. 🙂
