And I also heard that lasagna cupcakes are a hot, hot item for this year.
Well, I wanted to be in on the action, so this is what I did.....
I am stuck on zucchini. Ever since I found out that zucchini can be used in place of pasta, I have been going zucchini crazy.
I made zucchini lasagna cupcakes.
I have received positive feedback on this recipe (people that have made it). The positive comments were so wonderful, so I thought I would link-up this recipe. I have linked it to Ingredient Spotlight at Eat At Home Blog.
I hope you enjoy these as much as my "Feedback Fans" and I did.
I sprayed my cupcake pan with cooking spray. Placed a dollop of sauce in the bottom of each cup. I laid in 2 - 2 1/2 pieces sliced zucchini in each cup. Placed more sauce on top of the zucchini, a dollop of ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, more zucchini slices (pressing down a little), sauce, and topped with mozzarella cheese.
Zucchini Lasagna Cupcakes ready for the oven. I preheated the oven to 350 degrees F. and baked my cupcakes for 25 minutes.
25 minutes is all it took. Now that is one quick dinner. Serve these with a salad, and you are good to go.
This is what they looked like after they were baked. PERFECT!!
I left them sit in the pan for about 10 minutes before scooping out with a spoon.
"At that time, bushes had not appeared on the earth. Plants had not come up in the fields. The Lord God had not sent rain on the earth. And there wasn't any man to work the ground."
Genesis 2:5

Yum... what a great way to "sneak" in vegetables to picky eaters. Anything with melted cheese is great! Printing this for summer zucchini cooking time. ~ Ellen

ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by Tammy. I love your blog! Nice to see another down-home cook like me....
ReplyDeleteMy mother used to make the full pan version of this using eggplant. Don't let zucchini be the only squash you try! I'm so hungry now looking at this, though. ::tummy rumble::
