To prepare, remove the plastic film from the top of the container. Place the lasagna on a baking sheet to catch any potential drips. Bake in a preheated oven at the temperature specified on the packaging, usually around 375°F (190°C). The baking time will vary depending on whether the lasagna is fully thawed or still frozen, but it typically ranges from 45 minutes to over an hour. Ensure the lasagna is heated through and bubbling before serving.

How to keep the rest
After cooking, any leftover lasagna should be cooled and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best consumed within a few days. For longer storage, the cooked lasagna can be frozen again, though texture may be affected upon reheating.
