Fake-Out Mini Lasagnas
Ingredients
• 8 vine-ripened tomatoes, sliced about 1/4-inch thick 
• 4 tablespoons EVOO – Extra Virgin Olive Oil, divided 
• 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning 
• Salt and ground black pepper 
• 24 ravioli, square or round depending on your muffin tin 
• 1/2 pound ball fresh mozzarella, grated 
• 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano 
• 1 bunch of basil leaves, about 24 
Yields: 12 as a snack
Preparation
Preheat oven to 325ºF. 
Arrange tomato slices on a rack set over a sheet pan and drizzle with about 2 tablespoons EVOO. Season with salt, pepper and Italian seasoning and roast until tender and caramelized, about 45 minutes. Reserve. 
While tomatoes are roasting, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt it and cook ravioli to package directions and drain. 
Raise oven temp to 375°F. 
Build mini lasagnas in the cups of a muffin tin - start with a ravioli, a roasted tomato, a sprinkle of mozzarella, a sprinkle of parm, 1 basil leaf, and repeat once. Reserve remaining basil leaves. 
Bake in oven until cheese is melted, about 10-15 minutes. Thinly slice the remaining basil for garnish.
