Speedy Mini Lasagna Stacks with Pesto and Marinara Sauce Recipe
Speedy Mini Lasagna Stacks with Pesto and Marinara Sauce Recipe Ingredients: 1 package of wonton wrappers ¾ cup freshly made pesto 1 cup marinara sauce ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese 1 tablespoon toasted pine nuts 1 teaspoon dried oregano freshly ground pepper Directions: Preheat oven to 350° F. Prepare either a baking dish or four small gratin dishes by spraying with a little nonstick cooking spray. Layer the lasagna stacks by strarting with a square of pasta, spreading about a teaspoon of marinara sauce on top and then about a teaspoon of pesto on that. Add another square of pasta and repeat. You don’t need much marinara sauce at all on each sheet and you can even skip every other layer for the pesto. It’s up to you. Repeat layers until you have used 12 squares for each stack. Top with marinara, some pesto and a sprinkling of the mozzarella. Add a few pine nuts on top of each stack and then a pinch of the oregano and some freshly ground pepper. Cover tightly with foil. If using individual gratin dishes, place them on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake the lasagna for about 20 minutes and then remove foil. Bake for an additional 7 -10 minutes, or until cheese on top has melted to your liking. Remove from oven and let sit for 5 minutes to set up a little before serving....
