Notes
For two smaller lasagnas, divide the meat mixture in half and build two separate lasagnas, each one in an 8x8 square dish.
To make lasagna ahead of time, cover and refrigerate after adding the last layer of cheese. When ready to serve, either bring the lasagna to room temperature before baking or add an extra 10 minutes to the baking time.
Store leftover lasagna in an air tight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To reheat, microwave 2-3 minutes until warm or reheat in a 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes until warm.
To freeze unbaked lasagna, assemble it in a freezer safe container, cover with freezer safe plastic wrap and put in the freezer.
If it has been baked, allow it to cool completely before freezing in a freezer safe container. The lasagna will keep for up to 6 months in the freezer.
