Lasagna Cupcakes
RECIPE COURTESY OF AARTI SEQUEIRA
Level: Easy
Total: 1 hr 35 min
Prep: 30 min
Inactive: 25 min
Cook: 40 min
Yield: 12 cupcakes
Ingredients
Meat Sauce:
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 whole cloves
One 1-inch cinnamon stick
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 medium onion, finely diced (about 1 cup)
Kosher salt
1 pound mild Italian chicken sausage, casing removed
1/4 cup tomato paste
One 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
Freshly ground pepper
Ricotta Filling:
3/4 cup shredded mozzarella, plus more for topping
3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus more for topping
3/4 cup part-skim ricotta
1/3 cup mango chutney
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 package wonton wrappers (at least 48)
12 whole small fresh basil leaves
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
For the meat sauce: In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the olive oil until it shimmers. Add the whole cloves and cinnamon stick, and remove after a few minutes. Add the garlic and onions, sprinkle with a little salt and saute until softened but not browned.
Add the sausage, breaking up the clumps with your spoon. Cook until the sausage is no longer pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook 1 to 2 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes, basil, as well as some salt and pepper. Stir to combine and simmer uncovered, for about 15 minutes, stirring every now and then. Allow the meat sauce to cool, about 15 minutes, before building lasagna cupcakes. As the meat sauce is cooking, prepare the ricotta filling.
For the ricotta filling: Stir together the mozzarella, Parmesan, ricotta and mango chutney. Season with salt and lots of pepper, about a teaspoon, and set aside.
To assemble the cupcakes: Pull out your favorite cupcake pan. If your pan is not nonstick, spray the cups with cooking spray. Place a wonton wrapper in each cup. Don’t worry if you’re using square ones.
Drop about 1 teaspoon of meat sauce into the bottom of each cup. Then add 1 teaspoon of ricotta filling. Then cover with another wonton wrapper, rotating it about 90-degrees so that the corners of the first wrapper and the second wrapper aren’t right on top of each other. Repeat this until you’ve built three layers total. Top each with a small basil leaf, then another wonton wrapper. Finish each cupcake with a spoonful of meat sauce, a little shredded mozzarella and pinch of grated Parmesan.
Pop them into the oven and bake for 20 minutes. When time’s up, resist the temptation to eat them right away or else you’ll burn your mouth! Let them rest on the counter for about 10 minutes, and they should slip out of the muffin tin easily. Top with more shredded basil if you like.

"This is store bought mango chutney."
Great, now no one can recreate this recipe because we have no idea what's in the store's chutney or even what brand you used.

Speaking from experience when one time I tried to do a fusion Italian dish- it is a culture who wants to have others respect their traditional food as they do themselves as is only right… I feel like this was a bit of an insulting recipe for her and FN to share, just sayin
and PLEASE stick with what you actually know, we will also respect YOU more for it too chef… In an effort to show how creative/innovative, we need not disrespect an important cultural dish!!! Thanks for your consideration

I hate all the racist comments on this video! She can use whatever ingredients she wants! If you don't like it, go make your own with your own tastes! Get over yourselves and your one way to do things! She is incorporating her culture into it and it's beautiful! These look delicious but I would not use the mango chutney personally if I wanted them to be more traditional.

Some math for you:
lasagna – pasta + wonton wrappers + cinnamon + cupcake form = not a ****ing lasagna
