A little kitchen wisdom

For the best results, let the lasagna rest for at least 15 minutes after baking to ensure clean slices. If you use no-boil lasagna sheets, make sure your sauce is slightly more liquid so they cook through.

Keep the good going

For now. And for later.

Make it ahead

Lasagna can be assembled a day in advance and kept in the fridge. Add 10-15 minutes to the baking time if starting from cold.

Store & enjoy

Store in an airtight container. Reheat in the oven covered with foil at 170°C (338°F) until warmed through to prevent drying out.
