To prepare, remove the lasagna from its packaging and place it in the oven. The exact cooking time and temperature will be specified on the product's packaging, as these can vary. Generally, it involves baking until the lasagna is heated through and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Some preparations may suggest covering it with foil for part of the cooking time to prevent the top from over-browning. Allow it to rest for a few minutes after baking before serving.
