To prepare, remove the plastic film from the top of the lasagna. Place the frozen dish on a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for approximately 45-55 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the top is bubbly and golden brown. Allow it to rest for a few minutes before serving to let the layers set.
How it differs from similar foods

How to keep the rest
