Storage Time

Freezing

Cooked lasagna pasta freezes exceptionally well, making it perfect for meal prepping. Allow the lasagna to cool completely before portioning it into airtight containers or wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil. To thaw, transfer the frozen lasagna to the refrigerator overnight. Reheat gently in the oven or microwave until heated through. Freezing may slightly alter the texture of the pasta, but the flavors will remain robust.

Signs of Spoilage
