Lasagna in a mug
Be the first to rate it
Broken lasagna sheets are softened in the microwave, then layered with pizza sauce, spinach and ricotta for a one-serving lasagna.
Ingredients
- 2 pasta lasagna sheets
- ¾ cup (6floz/180g) water
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 3 tablespoons pizza sauce
- 4 tablespoons ricotta cheese
- 3 tablespoons spinach uncooked
- 2 tablespoons cooked sausage optional
- 1 tablespoon grated cheddar cheese
Equipment
- mug
Directions
- Snap the pasta sheets into pieces and drop them into a large microwave-safe mug.
- Pour in the water and olive oil (this keeps the pasta from sticking).
- Microwave about 3 to 4 minutes until tender, stirring halfway through. Drain.
- Spoon 1 tablespoon pizza sauce into the bottom of the mug.
- Add layers of pasta, spinach, sausage (if using) and ricotta, repeating until the mug is almost full.
- Finish with the grated cheddar.
- Microwave about 2½ to 3 minutes until hot all the way through (keep an eye on it so it doesn’t overflow; times vary with wattage).
- Let it cool for a couple of minutes before eating.
Notes
Use a large mug, since the water can bubble up. Layers can be assembled in advance (keep refrigerated — contains ricotta and sausage). Oven option: 350°F (180°C) about 10 to 12 minutes, checking after 10.
