Classic Microwave Lasagna in a Mug

1.Break the dry lasagna noodles into small pieces that will fit inside a large microwave-safe mug.

2.Place the noodle pieces in the mug and cover with 1/2 cup of boiling water and a pinch of salt. Microwave on high for 3-4 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente, then drain the water.

3.In a small bowl, mix the ricotta cheese with the garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.

4.Begin layering the lasagna in the mug: start with a spoonful of marinara sauce at the bottom, followed by a layer of cooked noodles, a dollop of the ricotta mixture, and a sprinkle of mozzarella.

5.Repeat the layers until the mug is nearly full, finishing with a layer of marinara sauce and a generous topping of mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.

6.Microwave the mug on high for 60-90 seconds until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the sauce is hot.

7.Let the lasagna stand for 2 minutes to set before garnishing with fresh torn basil leaves and serving.
