Before the other night, I’d never thought of being adventurous in cooking lasagna. Yes, you read that correctly. Although, I admit that until I made mini lasagnas in muffin tin on Thursday, I have never tried anything that levels up lasagna, so I really was starting from scratch.
I’d seen pictures of lasagna cups made in muffin tins – using a rolled lasagna layer or wontons, but I hadn’t seen any with polenta. Oh, polenta – I am a fan of that ingredient. I decided to try making the mini lasagna two ways – with wonton wrappers and polenta slices. I chose not to read any recipes for inspiration on mini lasagna and to see what I could come up with. Trial and error, my friends–that’s what it’s all about.
