Best Single Serve Lasagna Recipes

LASAGNA FOR ONE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C).
• Cook the lasagna noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a medium-sized skillet over a medium heat. Add in the onions and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add in the minced garlic and cook, stirring occasionally for a minute more.
• Add the ground beef to the pan and sprinkle the Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper over the meat. Cook and stir the ground beef until meat is no longer pink.
• Stir in 1/2 cup of tomato sauce, reduce the heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, stir the ricotta and 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese together in a small bowl. Set the bowl aside.

INDIVIDUAL LASAGNAS

Steps:

• Combine the sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl; stir well and let sit 30 minutes at room temperature.
• Mix the ricotta together with the salt and the pepper until evenly distributed.
• Preheat a grill pan over high heat. Whisk olive oil and salt together in a bowl. Rub the veggie pieces with the olive oil mixture all over and grill until soft and browned on both sides, about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• To assemble the lasagnas:
• Line the bottom of a mini foil baking dish with a couple spoonfuls of sauce. Lay a single layer of raw lasagna noodles over that. Next scatter a mixture of the veggies over top, then an even layer of ricotta. Repeat once more and top it all of with plenty of mozzarella.
• Place lasagna on a baking sheet to catch any dripping cheese. Bake for about 30 minutes or until bubbly and well browned on top.

DIABETIC LASAGNA FOR ONE

Steps:

• On small baking sheet spread noodle with sauce, top with remaining ingredients.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

PANCAKE LASAGNA FOR ONE (OR MORE)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Set out 4 small, shallow, oven-proof baking dishes or ramekins.
• Combine eggs, salt, olive oil, water, and flour for pancakes in a large bowl. Whisk thoroughly until very smooth, then let sit at room temperature for 15 minutes.
• Brush oil into a nonstick skillet and set heat to medium. When the skillet is hot, add about 1/4 cup batter and tilt the pan so it evenly coats the bottom. Cook until the batter sets and the top surface goes from looking wet to dry, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for 1 minute. Transfer to a plate and repeat to make remaining 3 pancakes. Cut each pancake into 3 triangles.
• Combine ricotta cheese, salt, pepper, cayenne, basil, and Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese for filling in a bowl; mix with a fork until thoroughly combined.
• Prepare lasagnas: Spread 2 tablespoons marinara sauce into the bottom of each baking dish. Lay 1 pancake triangle on the sauce, then top with about 2 tablespoons ricotta filling, 1 tablespoon Monterey Jack cheese, and 2 teaspoons marinara. Repeat to create another layer, slightly pressing down on the second pancake triangle before topping with filling and cheese. Top with the remaining pancake triangle, pressing down slightly. Add remaining marinara and Monterey Jack, sprinkle with Parmigiano-Reggiano, and drizzle with olive oil.
• Place the baking dishes on a large sheet pan and bake in the center of the preheated oven until lightly browned and bubbly, about 15 minutes. Let cool for about 5 minutes, then garnish with basil and serve.

LASAGNA FOR ONE

Steps:

• Cut pasta sheet in half and drop into a saucepan of boiling water for 30 seconds to 1 minute and then drain and put pasta sheets on a clean tea towel.
• Combine the ricotta and parmesan and season with salt and pepper and then spread over the 2 sheets of pasta and starting with the short end, roll up into a cylinder and then place on a small baking dish and spoon over the pasta sauce and sprinkle with mozzarella and bake in a preheat 180C oven for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Alternatively the lasagne could be cooked in the microwave, checking every 30 seconds until heat through.
• The remaining pasta can be prepared in the same way and placed in the freezer for later use or cut into rags or strips, cooked and then topped with your favourite sauce.
