6-Minute Microwave Lasagna

featured in 6-Min Vs. 60-Min Vs. 6-Hour Lasagna

Making lasagna has never been easier! With the help of the microwave, you can have lasagna in no time at all! We par-cook the noodles to ensure they’re cooked through and tender before layering with marinara sauce and a blend of cheeses. We kept our version vegetarian with spinach, but feel free to experiment with other ingredients, like cooked ground beef or sausage.

Preparation

  1. Break the lasagna noodle sheets into roughly 1-inch pieces. Transfer to a medium microwave-safe bowl or large mug and pour in enough hot water to cover the noodles by 1 inch. Microwave for 3 minutes on high power under tender. 2.
  2. Drain the noodles.
  3. In a small bowl, stir together the ricotta, spinach, and salt.
  4. Spoon 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce into the bottom of a large mug. Add a layer of noodles. Spread 1 tablespoon of the ricotta mixture over the noodles in an even layer. Top with 1 tablespoon shredded Italian cheese and then another 1 tablespoon marinara. Repeat with remaining ingredients. For the final layer, top the noodles with 2 tablespoons of marinara and the remaining shredded cheese.
  5. Microwave for about 3 minutes, until the noodles are cooked through and the cheese is melted. Let sit for 1–2 minutes to cool slightly.
  6. Garnish with fresh basil, Parmesan, and dried basil, if desired, and serve.
  7. Enjoy!
