To prepare, remove the film from the lasagna. Place the tray on a baking sheet in a preheated oven. Bake for a specified amount of time until the lasagna is heated through and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned. For best results, allow the lasagna to rest for a few minutes after baking before serving. This helps the layers set and makes it easier to cut and serve.
