Will this be okay to eat?

I made a lasange on Tuesday night and had half of it that night. As soon as it had cooled it went into the fridge uncovered in the dish it was made in. I had every intention to use the rest of it for dinner yesterday but things changed and we ate out.

So, would I be okay reheating the lasagne tonight and using it for dinner today or should I throw it out and cook something else?

Thanks in advance!

    I reheat stuff, often after considerably longer than 2 days, and all still alive and kicking in our house :D
  • Id eat it ,
    Just make sure its reheated properly , Id take it out of the dish so as that any other bits dont burn.
    Bon appetit!

    My golden rule is... if it passes the sniff test, risk it. I should think two days in the fridge is fine. If it has pasta on the top, you could sprinkle a bit of water on it so that it doesn't dry out on reheating - or heat it in the microwave which won't dry it out too much.
    :D I haven't bogged off yet, and I ain't no babe :D

  • WW, I do hope that you're well today.
    I read this thread yesterday and looked at the responses, as I too had planned to have a pork casserole that had been cooked on Tuesday.
    I felt confident with all the reassurance from the posters on here.
    The stew tasted fine, but when I woke up this morning ........... we were all dead:rotfl:
