Bolognese Spaghetti Bake Muffin Cups

Ingredients

(Makes 12 muffin cups)

• 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 )
• 1/4 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
  
  
  Step-by-Step Instructions
  Step 1: Preheat the Oven
  Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) .
  Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  
  Step 2: Prepare the Spaghetti Mixture
  In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked spaghetti, Bolognese sauce, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3: Assemble the Muffin Cups

1. Divide the spaghetti mixture evenly among the 12 muffin cups, pressing down gently with the back of a spoon to compact the mixture.
2. Sprinkle a little extra shredded mozzarella cheese on top of each muffin cup for a cheesy, golden finish.

Step 4: Bake

1. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15–20 minutes , or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly crispy.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

1. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the cups cool for 5 minutes to set.
2. Use a small spatula or spoon to carefully remove the muffin cups from the tin.
3. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
4. Serve warm and enjoy!
