A quick and comforting single-serving mug lasagna made with no-boil noodles, ricotta, mozzarella, and marinara sauce, perfect for busy nights or solo meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 small sheets no-boil lasagna noodles, broken to fit the mug
  • ½ cup (4 fl oz) marinara sauce
  • ¼ cup (2 fl oz) ricotta cheese
  • ⅓ cup (1.4 oz) shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon (0.18 oz) grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup ricotta cheese with ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until smooth and set aside.
  2. Add about 2 tablespoons marinara sauce to the bottom of a microwave-safe mug.
  3. Place broken no-boil lasagna noodle sheets over the sauce.
  4. Spoon half of the ricotta mixture over the noodles, spreading gently to cover evenly.
  5. Sprinkle about 1 tablespoon shredded mozzarella over the ricotta.
  6. Add another 2 tablespoons marinara sauce, then the remaining noodles, followed by the rest of the ricotta mixture.
  7. Finish with remaining mozzarella and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if using.
  8. Microwave on high for 3 to 4 minutes (1000 watts) until cheese is melted and bubbly and noodles are softened but not mushy. Add 30 seconds if microwave wattage is lower.
  9. Let the mug sit for 1 minute to thicken and cool slightly.
  10. Top with fresh basil or parsley if desired and serve.

Notes

If noodles seem dry before cooking, add a teaspoon of water for extra moisture. Avoid overfilling the mug to prevent spills. Adjust microwave time based on wattage. Let the lasagna rest after microwaving to avoid burning your mouth. Use no-boil noodles for best results. Can be made ahead and refrigerated up to 24 hours before cooking.
