Muffin Extravaganza

Vegetable lasagna is a major priority in my life.  Making it, eating it, giving it to my neighbors and friends, marveling at the gooey, cheesy, vegetable-stuffed layers...shall I continue?
Anyway, vegetable lasagna is cool.  Individual vegetable lasagnas shaped like muffins are really cool.

We used wonton wrappers as the "noodle" and layered them in muffin tins with ricotta and mozzarella cheeses, Cabernet marinara sauce, steamed spinach, sliced mushrooms, and zucchini.  Just to show how badass these little lasagnas really are, we used completely raw vegetables (the spinach was pre-steamed) and they still came out perfectly cooked and steaming. Woah.

We served them with improvised vegetable wontons.  I.E. we needed a side dish, so we tossed shredded carrots and zucchini with EVOO, salt, pepper, basil, and put them in the muffin tins between two wonton wrappers brushed with oil. BAM!

For dessert we had cupcakes.  Unfortunately, cupcakes actually belong in muffin tins, which makes it a little less innovative, but still scrumptious.

The only thing we didn't make in muffin pans, were muffins.....

The soundtrack for this miniature cooking experience was, is, and will be STS9 Radio by Pandora. Check it.
