Lasagna cupcakes with noodles are a unique and delicious twist on the classic lasagna dish. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or even a quick and easy weeknight meal. Lasagna cupcakes are made with all of the same ingredients as traditional lasagna, including noodles, cheese, sauce, and meat. However, they are baked in individual cupcake tins, which gives them a fun and festive look. The noodles are cooked al dente and then layered with cheese, sauce, and meat. The cupcakes are then baked until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the noodles are tender. Lasagna cupcakes can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as marinara sauce, Alfredo sauce, or pesto. They are also a great way to use up leftover lasagna noodles.

Steps:
- 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.

Steps:

- Cut wonton wrappers into 2 1/4-inch circles with a biscuit cutter. Press one wonton into the bottom of each muffin cup. Sprinkle even amounts of Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and ricotta cheese into each muffin cup; top each portion with even amounts of ground beef and pasta sauce.
- Divide 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, half the ricotta cheese, 1/2 the ground beef mixture, and 1/2 cup pasta sauce, between the muffin cups and layer, respectively, atop the wonton wrapper; repeat layering with remaining wonton wrappers, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, remaining ricotta cheese, remaining ground beef, and remaining pasta sauce. Top the 'cupcakes' with remaining Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese.
- Bake in preheated oven until edges of 'cupcakes' are browned, 18 to 20 minutes; let cook in tins for 5 minutes before running a knife around the edges of the cupcakes to loosen the edges to remove. Garnish with fresh basil to serve.

LASAGNA CUPCAKES WITH NOODLES
Steps:
- have all of your lasagna ingredients ready (at the point where you would layer them in your lasagna pan). shove a lasagna noodle (or a part of one) into a cupcake liner, letting it run up the sides It's a big mess and that's fine. Next, pour some meat sauce on top. Cover that with one layer of lasagna innards (typically ricotta and mozzarella). Top with a square of noodle (again, it's totally imperfect), more meat sauce, and some Parmesan cheese. Bake the same way as you would method one: Put the filled liners into a baking dish (you can use the same type of dish you would use to bake lasagna). Cover with foil and bake at 375 F for 30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for another five minutes until the tops are bubbly. Serve warm, refrigerate, or freeze and store for a time when you need a quick snack. Read more at http://www.cupcakeproject.com/2012/02/lasagna-cupcakes-two-ways.html#J7Fj0sMURESVjqQd.99

Tips:
- For perfect lasagna cupcakes, use a muffin tin with nonstick coating or line it with cupcake liners.
- To prevent the noodles from sticking together, cook them al dente and rinse them under cold water before assembling the cupcakes.
- If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a ziplock bag with the corner snipped off to pipe the ricotta cheese mixture.
- To make sure the cupcakes are cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, they're done.
- Let the cupcakes cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
