Lasagna makes for a fabulous freezer meal. To make this into a freezer meal just follow the directions all the way through without baking. Simple as that! I like to use a disposable aluminum casserole dish if I am making this for the freezer, just wrap the top tightly with aluminum foil and freeze for up to 3 months! To bake, remove from the freezer and let slightly defrost, bake for 1 hour & 20 minutes. To insure a warm center, insert a butter knife into the center of the lasagna, hold it there for a few seconds and remove. Immediately (and carefully) feel the tip of the knife, it should be very warm, and you will know your lasagna is ready!
