Pin Rating: 4
I've seen a lot of different bites recipes on Pintrest and have pinned a couple of them. I've finally had a chance to make the lasagna bites so I was very excited for this one. I actually read up on a few different lasagna bites recipes and in the end got pinspiration from 2 of them (Here and here). One thing you have to know about me is that I am a huge lover of lasagna. Every italian restaurant I dine at I must try their lasagna. (So far I think the lasagna at Macaroni Grill is the best because they use a thin pasta for the lasagna noodles. If you guys know somewhere even better I must know!) But because I'm such a huge lasagna fan, when I actually bit into the bites I was disappointed. The extra crispiness from the wonton wrapper was nice, but I felt like it lost it's lasagna identity. I debated between a 3.5 or 4 but in the end gave it a 4 because it did taste good, it just didn't live up to my high lasagna expectations.
Ingredients:
- Mini muffin tins (silicone ones work best)
- Wonton Wrapper Sheets
(I was lucky enough to live close to an asian supermarket, but in case you don't, you can find them on Amazon.)
- 1 1/2 cup Ricota cheese
- Cooking spray (optional)
- Meat sauce
- I used 1 lb of ground turkey
- 1 24oz jar of sauce
- 1/2 small onion chopped
- Salt & pepper to taste
- 2 cups of Mozzerella (I was generous with the cheese :))
Preheat oven to 375° F.
Regular sized muffins: 18-20 minutes
Mini muffins: 10-12 minutes
I made my own adjustments to the recipe in terms of the size I used for the bites but other than that I followed the recicpe and layering instructions. I also tested out the original size in the full muffin tin as well as made the mini muffin sized lasagna bites. I ended up liking the smaller bites better.
