To prepare, remove the outer packaging and any plastic film. Place the lasagna on a baking sheet or directly in the oven if the container is oven-safe. Follow the specific heating instructions on the packaging, as times and temperatures can vary. Generally, it is heated until hot and bubbly throughout, often requiring about 30-45 minutes at a moderate oven temperature. Allow it to rest for a few minutes after heating before serving to help it set.
