The most famous dish in all of Italian cuisine might just be lasagna! This delicious flatbread contains various ingredients that vary from region to region, but often include items like mushrooms, cottage cheese, spinach leaves – or any combination of these – depending on what sounds good on hand when making this comfort food. Sometimes other cheeses can also take its place depending on personal preferences.

You can make this at home by following these simple steps: Heat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (176 Celsius). Cook your tagliatelle while the water boils; drain them well before adding them to what will become your Italian masterpiece on top - which could also include fresh vegetables if you're feeling creative.

INGREDIENTS for the mini meatloaf lasagna

Mini lasagna meatloaf

– 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
– ½ cup finely chopped onion
– 2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
– 2 cups chopped frozen spinach
– 1 3/4 pounds ground beef or bison
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
– ½ teaspoon dried oregano
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1 cup shredded/grated mozzarella

PREPARATION Mini lasagna with meatloaf

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Heat the oil in a small pan. Cook the onion and garlic until soft for at least 5 minutes.

To thaw frozen spinach, place the frozen chopped spinach in a fine mesh strainer and run hot water over it until the spinach has thawed. Press the spinach with your fingers to release as much water as possible.Scrape the spinach out of the strainer into the middle of a thick paper towel (or two thin paper napkins) and fold the paper towel over the spinach like a parcel.

Squeeze over a sink to remove any remaining water (unlike a cloth towel, spinach does not stick to paper towels).

In a large bowl, use your hands to gently combine the onion and garlic, spinach, ground beef, eggs, 1 cup marinara sauce, breadcrumbs, basil, oregano, salt, and 1 cup shredded mozzarella.

Stir the mixture into each cup of the muffin pan, pressing with your fingers to flatten and level the tops.

Spread the remaining marinara sauce on top of each (about 2 teaspoons for each meatloaf) and then sprinkle the remaining grated cheese on top (this is optional and makes it look prettier).

At this point you are ready to serve the portions of meatloaf lasagna. Everyone will be happy to taste such a delicacy and will compliment you on the original idea and above all on the elegant but at the same time traditional taste.
