Storing:
Lasagna can easily be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer for later use. You can freeze lasagna before baking or after baking. When ready to eat, take out of freeze the day before to thaw out in the fridge. Bake as originally directed if not pre-baked or reheat in the oven at 350 degrees F for 30 minutes if pre-baked.
Have dinner leftovers? Cover and store the leftover lasagna dish in the fridge, and when ready to eat again, reheat the dish in the oven at 350 degrees F for about 30 minutes. You can also just cut out individual pieces and reheat the lasagna in the microwave.
If using this recipe for meal prepping throughout the week, bake and store individual pieces of lasagna in air-tight containers for up to 4 days in the fridge. Warm up in the microwave when ready to consume.
