Layering Oven Ready Lasagne
- Begin with a 13 x 9 x 3-inches deep baking pan, sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Spread 1 cup of sauce on the bottom of the baking pan and begin layering.
- Place 3-4 sheets of uncooked Barilla Oven Ready Lasagne side by side on the bottom of the pan. The lasagne will expand to the edges of the pan during baking.
- Top with filling or sauce as directed in your recipe on every layer, spreading each to the edges of the pan to seal in and cook the lasagne during baking.
- Repeat this process for a total of 4-5 layers.
- The final layer will be 3-4 sheets of uncooked Barilla Oven Ready Lasagne plus the remaining sauce and cheese, if included in recipe.
Layering Wavy Lasagne
- Cook lasagne according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Begin with a 13 x 9 x 3-inches deep baking pan, sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Spread 1 cup of sauce on the bottom of the baking pan and begin layering.
- Place several pieces of cooked Wavy Lasagne on the bottom of the pan, slightly overlapping each other.
- Top with filling as directed in your recipe, spreading the filling to the edges of the pan.
- Continue with another layer of sauce, pasta, and filling.
- Repeat this process until you have reached the top of the pan. The final layer will be a layer of cooked lasagne plus the remaining sauce and cheese, if included in recipe.
How To Prepare Barilla Oven Ready Lasagne in Advance
Lasagne may be prepared up to 24 hours in advance without baking it. Prepare and store the Lasagne in the refrigerator at or below 40°F. Since the Lasagne will be cold it will require a longer baking time, approximately 60 minutes at 375°F.
If your recipe calls for egg, the cooking time will be approximately 1 hour and 10 – 1 hour and 20 minutes. Make sure the internal temperature reaches at least 160°F.How To Prepare Barilla Wavy Lasagne Semolina in advance

How To Freeze Barilla Oven Ready Lasagne
To freeze the lasagne, we recommend that you do not bake it before freezing. You may assemble the lasagne in a freezer safe/oven safe container, cover tightly and freeze. When you are ready to bake the lasagne, defrost it in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Bake it at 375°F and increase the baking time to approximately 1 hour and 10 minutes.
If your recipe calls for egg, the baking time will be approximately 1½ - 2 hours. Make sure the internal temperature reaches at least 160°F.How To Freeze Barilla Wavy Lasagne semolina
