Bake in a preheated oven according to the package directions, usually at around 375°F (190°C). Cooking times vary depending on the oven and whether you are heating from fully frozen or thawed. Ensure the lasagna is heated through and bubbling before serving. Allow it to rest for a few minutes after removing it from the oven.
