To prepare, remove the plastic film and place the lasagna on a baking sheet or in an oven-safe dish. Bake in a preheated oven until heated through and the cheese is bubbly and golden brown. Alternatively, it can be microwaved according to package directions, though oven baking often yields a crispier texture. Allow it to rest for a few minutes after cooking before serving to let the layers set. This makes for an easy and complete meal with minimal effort.
