Lasagna is a meal by itself and, when combined with salad and breadsticks, becomes a feast. This delightful dish is tailor-made for preparation today and enjoyment tomorrow. Prepare and freeze lasagna for the future, or place it in the refrigerator for dinner the next day. Follow the FDA Food Code and heat lasagna correctly to protect your family and guests from illness after they enjoy a delicious meal. Maintain food safety and quality by heating food correctly.
Thaw previously-prepared and frozen lasagna overnight in the refrigerator.
Place the lasagna onto a baking pan, loosely cover it with a sheet of aluminum foil, and slide it into the oven.
Bake the lasagna the same temperature the recipe directs for the original baking.
Heat the lasagna to a temperature of at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit for a period lasting at least 15 seconds. The lasagna must be heated within two hours of removing it from refrigeration. Measure the temperature with a stem thermometer, inserted through the foil into the center of the lasagna.
