Can you prepare Lasagna a day before and refrigerate overnight and bake later, or is it better to simply bake it after preparing it and then re-heating the next day? Also, is it better to cook the noodles before baking? Thank you.

Hi NancyKay, Welcome to Nancy's Kitchen! I thought you might like to check out some ideas for making Lasagna ahead of time which were found using the Google search engine. Here is the link: www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&q=make+ahead+lasagnaI prefer to cook the noodles before baking. Others are pleased with the results following recipes where extra liquid (usually water) is called for to allow the noodles to cook while baking the completed dish. It's all a matter of preference. Personally, I do not like the texture of the no cooking required noodles found in the supermarket. Your make ahead recipe should turn out fine as long as you allow extra baking time to compensate for the refrigerated temperature. Usually an additional 20 to 30 minutes. Standing time is also important to allow for firming up before serving. I hope this is helpful to you. Ciao!  -Shortcake |

Thank you very much Shortcake!
One other question - do you have a good breakfast casserole recipe that you can make the night before that you recommend? Thanks Again

I always make my Lasagna and bake it the day before. The next day, I just heat it up. It tastes just like fresh baked, and you don't have the wait time for it to firm up. It always turns out perfect!
