    Tuscan Inspired Lasagna in Ramekins

    Tuscan Inspired Lasagna in Ramekins. Family friendly food recipes #candiland

    I love to make lasagna, but I don’t like the large pan taking up all the space in my refrigerator if there are leftovers.

    These ramekins will do double duty with baking and consuming from the same dish. Plus they are so cute, and just the right amount of lasagna, your family will enjoy how easy they are to do a quick reheat if needed and also a quick clean up.

    Recently our household expanded when my Mother In Law moved in and one of our sons came home. To make dinner, it needs to be simple but tasty. I need hearty meals, but yet, don’t want to do all the work of a big meal.

    That’s why I decided to make these individual lasagnas because I just don’t have room in the refrigerator for any leftover pans or lots of ingredients.

    If I have one or two leftover ramekins, it is easy to find space and put some plastic wrap or aluminum foil over to keep it fresh.

    When I am not making fresh tomato sauce, I like to grab a jar of Bertolli Red Sauce and I usually keep a few extra jars in the pantry. I don’t need a lot of ingredients, just the noodles, sauce, cheeses, and spices.

      What a great idea! I think this would be great if you ever need to take a meal to someone with two or three in the family. Also a great idea for sending lunches with my hubby!
