We agree! Lasagne is one of our go-to recipes for sure!
Can this be prepped then frozen before cooking
We have not tried it with this particular recipe, but with other lasagnes we’ve made, yes! We find that sometimes when prepped in advance, the flavours have more chance to develop giving you a much tastier dish! Please do let us know if you try it with this recipe though!
