Bolognese Spaghetti Bake Muffin Cups
Bolognese Spaghetti Bake Muffin Cups are savory, cheesy, and perfectly portioned for a fun twist on classic pasta night—great for kids, dinner parties, or meal prep.
Ingredients
- 2 cups 200g cooked spaghetti, broken into smaller pieces
- 2 cups Bolognese sauce homemade or store-bought
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese or your favorite melting cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning optional
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish, optional)
- Olive oil cooking spray for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cooked spaghetti, Bolognese sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan, beaten egg, Italian seasoning (if using), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Spoon the mixture evenly into the muffin cups, pressing gently with the back of a spoon to compact. Top each with a small sprinkle of extra mozzarella for a golden, bubbly finish.
- Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and crisp around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the cups cool in the tin for 5 minutes to help them firm up. Use a small spatula to gently lift each cup out. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired. Serve warm.
