So tasty and easy! Wish I knew about this recipe sooner!

 

Ingredients:

1. 2 large zucchinis, thinly sliced
2. 1 cup ricotta cheese
3. 1 egg
4. 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
5. 1 teaspoon dried basil
6. 1 teaspoon dried oregano
7. 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
8. 1/2 teaspoon salt
9. 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
10. 1 cup marinara sauce
11. 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
12. Olive oil for greasing

METHOD:

1. Set the oven temperature to 375°F, or 190°C.
2. Apply a little amount of olive oil to a muffin tray.
   Using a sharp knife or mandoline, thinly slice the zucchini lengthwise.
3. Put aside.
4. Put the ricotta cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, dried basil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a medium-sized bowl. Blend until well combined.
5. In each muffin tin cup, place a piece of zucchini in the bottom. Add a little dollop of marinara sauce, a small spoonful of the ricotta mixture, and some shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
6. Continue adding the zucchini, marinara sauce, ricotta mixture, and mozzarella cheese until the muffin cups are filled, then top with another layer of mozzarella cheese.
7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes in a preheated oven, or until the tops are bubbling and brown.
8. Before taking the lasagna bites out of the muffin tray, allow them to cool for a few minutes. Warm up and dig in!

Variations and Advice
Layers of Italian sausage or cooked ground beef may be added for a meatier variation. For extra greens, you can also stir some chopped spinach into the ricotta mixture. Try adding a sprinkle of crushed red pepper flakes to the marinara sauce for a little more spiciness.

Have fun!
