Lasagna is always a favourite meal for everyone! A while back I spotted a recipe for Petite Lasagna Cups, using Wonton Wrappers instead of pasta noodles. I adapted the recipe with my own favourite ‘lasagna’ ingredients, and voila! Here it is!
These take less time to bake than traditional Lasagna and contains less calories. You can use half-fat Cottage Cheese if you wish – but it’s Lasagna! You only live once, so I say enjoy this classic taste! They present nicely too, right?
My family loved this recipe {paired with Caesar Salad}, we will be making this again!
Enjoy!
Petite Lasagna Cups
Lasagna is always a favourite meal, make these baked Petite Lasagna Cups, using Wonton Wrappers instead of pasta noodles.
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb Ground Been or Turkey
- 1 small onion chopped
- 1/2 cup chopped mushrooms
- 1/2 can crushed Tomatos
- 1 cup Tomato Sauce {flavor of choice}
- 1.5 cups Cottage Cheese
- 1 cup Frozen Spinach {which has been thawed}
- 2 cups Mozza Cheese shredded
- 24 small square Wonton Wrappers
- Oregano Garlic Powder, Salt, Pepper to taste
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375ºF
-
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beef/turkey, onions, mushrooms and seasonings. Simmer until cooked
-
Add crushed tomatoes and sauce, bring the pan to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside
-
In a large bowl, combine the Cottage Cheese and Spinach. Stir to mix well. Set aside.
-
Spray a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Place 1 wonton wrapper into each of the 12 cups, pressing firmly in the bottom of the cup and up the sides
-
Spoon in Cottage Cheese mixture, using about half for the 12 muffin cups
-
Spoon in half of the beef/turkey and tomato sauce mixture, again using about half.
-
Sprinkle with mozzarella
-
Gently press another wonton wrapper on top of the mozzarella layer
-
Repeat the process by distributing the remaining Cottage Cheese, then the remaining tomato sauce/meat mixture, and finally the rest of the shredded mozzarella
-
Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted
-
Let the cups cool for 5 minutes then remove them from the pan, and serve!

alissa apel says
Those are perfect! I love the idea!!! I like how A) They are cute! B) They are perfect for a serving size. C) They look like they can be frozen easily.
I’m always on the lookout for something a little different. I still make meals for my sister’s family that has the Trisomy 18 baby. He’s had jaw surgery. But on a good note, he’s almost a year old! The 2 week stay in the hospital was well worth it! He can now swallow. They need meals at their house when he’s in the hospital.
I’ve been making a lot of Spaghetti Squash Pie. You can make it by using a sprayed glass pie plate, add 1/2 a cooked squash (drained) mixed with 1/2 cup Parmesan and two eggs (form a pie crust), add tomato paste, cooked Italian Sausage, cottage cheese and grated mozzarella cheese on top. Cook 375 degrees until the cheese is brown. You can revise it many ways. I’ve added olives, spinach and so on.
Tammi says
Awe – poor guy, glad to hear he’s such a fighter. And good for you for helping, really, that does make all the difference!
Thanks for the recipe Alissa, I need to try it soon!
Emma says
Looks fantastic for the little one & sounds yummy. I have a question though, will the wonton skins came out crunchy? (both outside & inside layers)
Tammi says
The outside is nice and crispy yet the inside bakes to the consistency of noodles. So really, it’s like Lasagna with the crunchy outer pieces and the inside softer. Great question, thanks for asking!
Emma says
Thanks for the reply! Gonna try in the weekend 🙂
Tammi says
of course! Let me know what you think if you try them!
🙂

chris trak says
Lasagna is my secret deal breaker……….and those mini cups are perfect!
Jean Fisher says
What a great idea! I love lasagna but a full pan makes sooo much everyone is sick of it by the time we finish it all. These are a perfect solution!
Karen Propes says
I love this receipe, now to make it and serve it and get those great comments that all chefs love to hear, Thanks for the receipe.
Courtney Miller says

Shauneen says
Such a great idea? Would be great frozen, so I know when I am not home my husband wont have to cook dinner!!
Michelle Perez says
I love muffin tin recipes. This looks super tasty!

What a fantastic recipe! They look sooooo good. We are making them this weekend and I cannot wait!
Ester G says
Super cute idea to make these with WonTon wrappers. I bet they freeze nicely and would be handy for lunches 🙂
Mary Withrow says
I love these and they would be great for children. I love to change it up every once in a while and add sweet sausage. Which would be great in these as well
Penny says
I love this idea. I like to spend a day making meals and then putting most of them in the freezer, so there is always something tasty and nutritious on hand when we are in a hurry and don’t have time to cook.
Vesper says
I would have to restrict how many of these I made or I could end up eating lots or fighting with my husband who gets to eat them
Lynn M says
Such a great idea for an appetizer too for my sons bday party!
Chandra Christine O'Connor says
i want make these
Susan T. says
These would be a good appetizer for a party. I believe in serving nice, hearty food. No tiny appies for me! Lol!
Nicky Dierx says
I’ve often thought about writing a book about all the things you can make in a muffin pan. You really can make almost everything. Meatloaf is a favourite around these parts. I’ve also got a pretty stellar repertoire when it comes to making cup shaped desserts with phylo sheets.
Susan T. says
I like the idea of using wonton wrappers. You could fill the cups with anything you wanted!
natasha severson says
i would have never thought about making lasagna like this! maybe my kiddies will eat it!
Jen Conlin says
Theses look incredible. Definitely pinning this Gem. Thanks for the share.
DARLENE W says

Cairine says
