To prepare, remove the outer packaging. If the lasagna is frozen solid, it may require a longer cooking time. Typically, you would place the dish in a preheated oven and bake until it is heated through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Some versions may also be suitable for microwave preparation, though oven baking often yields a crisper texture on the top. Always follow the specific heating instructions provided on the packaging for best results and food safety.
