Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp marinara sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 sheets of oven-ready lasagna noodles, broken to fit the mug
  • 1/2 cup (120g) ricotta cheese
  • 1/3 cup (50g) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup (50g) fresh spinach, chopped

  • Optional: Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Begin by layering 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce at the bottom of your Bicho Boutique ceramic mug.
  2. Place a piece of broken lasagna noodle over the sauce.
  3. In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with the chopped spinach, and season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Spread half of the ricotta and spinach mixture over the noodle in the mug.
  5. Sprinkle a quarter of the shredded mozzarella cheese over the ricotta layer.
  6. Repeat the layers: sauce, lasagna sheet, the remaining ricotta-spinach mixture, and some more mozzarella.
  7. Top the last layer with the rest of the marinara sauce, and sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan on top.
  8. Microwave the mug on medium-high power for 3 to 4 minutes. Microwaves vary in strength, so check the cheese is bubbly and the noodles are tender.
  9. Carefully remove the mug (using oven mitts as it will be hot) and let it cool slightly.
