Ingredients

• 24 wonton wrappers
• 6 oz. ground beef
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 1/4 cups grated Parmesan
• 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella
• 3/4 cup ricotta
• 1 cup pasta sauce
• Fresh basil leaves and crushed red pepper, for garnish

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375. Coat twelve 3 1/2-inch muffin cups with cooking spray, then press 1 wonton wrapper into each.

2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add beef; cook, stirring to break up lumps, until browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper; drain.

3. Stir together 3/4 cup each Parmesan and mozzarella with ricotta in a bowl. Spoon half of mixture into muffin cups; top with half of beef and half of pasta sauce. Top muffin cups with remaining wonton wrappers, cheese mixture, beef and sauce. Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan and mozzarella.

4. Bake until edges are browned, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool in cups 5 minutes, then run a knife around edges to loosen and remove cupcakes. Garnish with basil and red pepper.
