Notes
Let the lasagna rest for 10–15 minutes after baking before slicing to help it set and serve neatly
• Garnish with fresh parsley, lemon zest, or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for added flavor and presentation
• Serve alongside garlic bread, Caesar salad, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days
• Reheat individual portions in the microwave or reheat the whole dish covered in the oven at 350°F until warmed through
• For freezing, wrap the lasagna tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 2 months
• Thaw frozen lasagna overnight in the refrigerator before reheating
• You can also freeze individual slices for easy, portioned meals later
• If the lasagna seems dry after reheating, drizzle a little extra Alfredo sauce on top before heating
• Avoid refreezing lasagna that has already been thawed and reheated for best texture and food safety
