To prepare, remove the plastic film from the tray. Place the lasagna on a baking sheet in the center of a preheated oven. Bake for the time indicated on the package, usually around 45 to 55 minutes, until it is heated through and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned. For best results, allow the lasagna to stand for a few minutes after removing it from the oven before serving. This helps the layers set and makes it easier to portion.
