Forget-Me-Not Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 and keep it unbaked in the fridge until Sunday afternoon? I had plans to make 3 lasagnas this week, put two in the freezer and have one for dinner. Today is a good day to make them because we have minimal schoolwork, but we have a ton of leftovers in the fridge to use up for dinner tonight, and I was thinking it would be nice to have a lasagna ready to go into the oven after church on Sunday instead of having it tonight. It seems sort of pointless to freeze it only to re-thaw the day after tomorrow. What sayeth the Hive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justLisa Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 That's only 2 days. I would! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planner Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I think it's okay as long as any meat you use won't be expired by Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
********* Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Hunh. That's a tough one. Honestly, I'd freeze it. I get what you're saying about it seeming silly, but I like to be 'extra' safe with food, lol. Well, on second thought... Do you think the entire lasagna will be eaten on Sunday when you cook it? If so, then I'd keep it in the fridge and just cook it on Sunday. But if there were likely going to be leftovers after I cooked it on Sunday, then I'd freeze it today. That's just my thinking, lol.

Susan C. Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I think it would work if you put it in the coldest part of your frig. But.... the whole frig will smell like garlic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
astrid Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I'd make it today. Most items in lasagna are cooked anyway, right? You'll cook the meat, etc? The noodles and sauce will hold, the only thing I might question is the raw egg that I mix with the ricotta as a binder. But even then, I think I'd chance it. astrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie in CA Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I've done that several times. Not a problem. For me personally? I'd cook it today and then reheat on Sunday, since lasagna is one of the things I think becomes more flavorful the next day (or two). Now I want lasagna. Thanks.

DianeW88 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Yep, it's fine to do it that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chepyl Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Homemade lasagne is always better on the second or third day....like chili :) do I all today and repeat it on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truscifi Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Lasagna...:drool5: Sorry. I've been craving lasagna for 2 months, but I can't have it because of the gestational diabetes. I already have my favorite Italian place on standby to have some ready for me after I have the baby. They even said they'd make me a tray and send it to the hospital, lol. Gotta love little mom and pop type restaurants! Oh, and I think it would be fine to eat on Sunday. I agree with pp though, I would go ahead and bake it - they always taste better reheated as leftovers anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forget-Me-Not Posted September 14, 2012 Author Share Posted September 14, 2012 Thanks all. I think I may just wait and do it all tomorrow. The afternoon fatigue/sickness is about to hit :D Plus I never defrosted the ground beef I was going to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
