1½cups(375 mL) Roasted Tomato Sauce (page 244) or your favourite store-bought tomato sauce
1½cups(375 mL) grated mozzarella cheese
Fresh basil leavesfor garnish (optional)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly oil a standard 12-cup muffin tin, or coat with non-stick spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, spinach, ½ cup (125 mL) Parmesan, garlic, egg, salt, and pepper and stir to blend.
Press 1 wonton wrapper into each of the muffin cups. Divide the ricotta mixture evenly between the 12 wonton wrappers and top with 1 tablespoon (15 mL) each of tomato sauce and mozzarella. Top with another wonton wrapper layer and another tablespoon (15 mL) each of tomato sauce and mozzarella. Sprinkle with the remaining ¼ cup (60 mL) Parmesan, dividing it evenly between the cups.
Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until the cheese has melted and the wonton wrappers are crisp and golden brown. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with basil, if using, before serving.
