  • The best way to do this is to pre-cook your pasta sheets before placing them into the lasagna, then you can freeze the lasagna and bake it later.
  • Are you talking about "no-bake" [Edit: sorry, should have said "no-boil"] lasagna noodles? These absorb liquid from the sauce as the lasagna bakes [Edit: without any preparation other than loading them into the dish]. [Edit: If you are going to freeze it ahead,] You need to cook it longer and pay attention to the internal temp to avoid food borne illness. Remember, heat kills food borne bacteria, not the freezer. From the Barillaus.com website: How To Freeze Barilla Oven Ready Lasagne To freeze Barilla Oven Ready Lasagne, we recommend that you do not bake the lasagne before freezing for best results. You may assemble the lasagne in a freezer safe/oven safe container, cover and freeze. When you are ready to cook the lasagne, defrost in the refrigerator for 24 hours. When cooking, increase the cook time to 1-1/2 to 2 hours. The internal temperature of the lasagne should reach 160 degrees. http://www.barillaus.com/Lasagne_OvenReady.aspx (sorry about all the edits, yesterday was not a great day)
