These "cupcakes" are so cute and so delicious. I find them very easy to make and you save on calories instead of eating traditional lasagna. Theses are made with wonton wrappers which can be found in the refrigerator section with the fruit and veggies in the grocery store. These are a big hit with my kids. I found this recipe on emilybites.com. She has tons of low calorie recipes. Each "cupcake" is only 165 calories.

When I make these I do a few changes to the recipe . You can make them either way but I'll share the way I make them.
To make this you use a cupcake pan and layer each ingredient like you would lasagna. Instead of keeping the meat and sauce separate I make a meat sauce. When I use a lb of ground beef and one can of pasta sauce I have enough meat sauce left over to freeze so I can make them again. Which helps on a busy night if the sauce has unthawed I just have to throw it all together and bake for 20 minutes. I substitute the ricotta cheese for fat-free cottage cheese. No real reason why, I just have cottage cheese on hand more often. The recipe says it make 8 "cupcakes" but when I make them I get 12.
I hope you enjoy this lasagna substitute as much as my family does.
