6-Minute Microwave Lasagna Recipe by Tasty image

Making lasagna has never been easier! With the help of the microwave, you can have lasagna in no time at all! We par-cook the noodles to ensure they're cooked through and tender before layering with marinara sauce and a blend of cheeses. We kept our version vegetarian with spinach, but feel free to experiment with other ingredients, like cooked ground beef or sausage.

Yield 1 serving

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 no-boil lasagna noodles
1 ½ cups hot water, or as needed
⅓ cup whole milk ricotta cheese
¼ cup fresh baby spinach
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
½ cup marinara sauce
½ cup shredded italian cheese blend
fresh basil leaf, for garnish - optional
grated parmesan cheese, for garnish - optional
dried basil, for garnish

Steps:

  • Break the lasagna noodle sheets into roughly 1-inch pieces. Transfer to a medium microwave-safe bowl or large mug and pour in enough hot water to cover the noodles by 1 inch. Microwave for 3 minutes on high power under tender. 2.
  • Drain the noodles.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the ricotta, spinach, and salt.
  • Spoon 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce into the bottom of a large mug. Add a layer of noodles. Spread 1 tablespoon of the ricotta mixture over the noodles in an even layer. Top with 1 tablespoon shredded Italian cheese and then another 1 tablespoon marinara. Repeat with remaining ingredients. For the final layer, top the noodles with 2 tablespoons of marinara and the remaining shredded cheese.
  • Microwave for about 3 minutes, until the noodles are cooked through and the cheese is melted. Let sit for 1-2 minutes to cool slightly.
  • Garnish with fresh basil, Parmesan, and dried basil, if desired, and serve.
  • Enjoy!
