Lasagna freezes very well... it's actually very silly to prepare
lasagna for one meal. Lasagna will also keep well in the fridge for
3-4 days. The only drawback to preparing extra lasagna is in
refraining from noshing on it... good lasagna really needs no
reheating. When I prepare lasagna I use three pounds of noodles.
One of my lasagnas with 3 lbs of noodles ready for the oven; with tons
of cheese/riccotta/mozz/parm, saw-seege, sauce... mangia!
