To prepare, remove the plastic wrap from the frozen lasagna. Place it on a baking sheet or directly in the oven if the packaging allows. Bake in a preheated oven according to the package directions, typically until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted and lightly browned. Allow it to rest for a few minutes after baking before serving to let the layers set. This ensures a neater serving and a better texture.
