WW Lasagna Cups Recipe

Ingredients:

• 8 whole wheat lasagna noodles (cooked and cut into halves or thirds)
• 1 lb lean ground turkey or chicken
• 1 small onion, chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 (14.5 oz) can crushed tomatoes (low-sodium, if preferred)
• 1/2 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp dried basil
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for a little heat)
• 1/2 cup low-fat ricotta cheese
• 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or use silicone muffin cups for easy removal. This recipe makes 12 individual lasagna cups.
2. Cook the Noodles: Boil the lasagna noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside to cool slightly. Once they’re cool enough to handle, cut them into halves or thirds to fit into the muffin tin.
3. Make the Meat Sauce: In a large skillet, cook the ground turkey or chicken over medium heat, breaking it apart as it cooks. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is soft. Stir in the crushed tomatoes, oregano, basil, red pepper flakes (if using), and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer the sauce for about 10 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
4. Assemble the Lasagna Cups: Layer each muffin tin with a piece of the cooked lasagna noodle. Then spoon a small amount of the meat sauce over the noodle. Add a dollop of ricotta  cheese, a sprinkle of mozzarella, and a little Parmesan on top. Repeat this layering process until all the muffin cups are filled, ending with a sprinkle of mozzarella and Parmesan on top.
5. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. The lasagna cups should be lightly browned on top.
6. Garnish and Serve: Let the lasagna cups cool slightly before removing them from the muffin tin. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, if desired, and serve hot.
