How long can I freeze a lasagna that I did not pre-cook?

by: Matt - Pasta Recipes Made Easy

Hello there,

I've just finished discussing this question with the oracle of such pasta-matters, my mamma-in-law Marisa.

Here's what she suggests:

- Normal meat lasagna with tomato sauce can be kept in the fridge quite happily for up to 3 months.

(However, if you know you'll be making a lasagna in advance, Marisa suggests you don't cook it before freezing. Just make the sauce, layer up the lasagna as normal, and then freeze. Cook it once defrosted.)

- As for lasagna (or any pasta dish) that features milky bechamel sauce, this should not be frozen as this causes the sauce to break up and lose its consistency (not nice, trust me!).

Hope that helps!

Matt.
