Sorry I haven't posted anything in a few days - things have been insane and I haven't had the time to cook. So, last night we decided we should do dinner and a movie.
While AJ (the husband) was busy picking out the perfect movie for us to watch, I decided I should make something fun and yummy for dinner. Then, it hit me...lasagna cups would be perfect for a laid back Friday night!
It's surprisingly easy and fun to make and eat...
Here's what you'll need:
*2-3 cups of rotini pasta
*1lb ground chicken
*3cups of pasta sauce
*1 cup of ricotta cheese
*1 can of buttermilk biscuits
*1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella
For seasoning the chicken:
*1 tablespoon parsley
*1 small onion shredded
*3 garlic cloves shredded
*Salt
*Pepper
How to:
1. Boil the pasta as directed on the box
2. While the pasta is boiling, get the chicken into a large bowl.
3. Add 1 tablespoon of parsley
4. Shred the small onion directly into the chicken
5. Shred garlic directly into the chicken
6. Mix until everything is mixed well together.
7. Put the chicken mixture into a skillet and cook for about 7-10min or until there is no more visible pink in the meat. Add about a tablespoon of olive oil.
8. Drain the juices from meat, add ricotta cheese, half of the shredded mozzarella, and pasta sauce - Mix well.
9. Let it simmer on medium heat for about 5 min.
10. Add pasta, stir well.
For cups:
1. Preheat the oven to 350F
2. Separate the dough
3. Roll dough to fit jumbo cupcake pan.
4. Spray the cupcake pan with cooking spray.
5. Add the rolled dough to cupcake pan
6. Generously add pasta mixture to the cups.
7. Cook for 27-30Min or until edges of the cups are golden brown.
8. ENJOY!!
I also made a side Cesar salad to go with the cups for a complete meal.
Alright, that's all for me today, now I'm off to the hair salon to get my pink extension for breast cancer awareness month - I won't be cooking tonight. However, check back on Monday for Sunday family recipes :)
See you all then! And have a great weekend!
