Sorry if this is a silly question.

I want to make a few lasagna's and I don't know if I am supposed to cook them first before freezing or do I just freeze the raw ingredients OR do I partially cook them? Also, how long can they be kept in a freezer for?

Thanks x

    Cook first, cool and then freeze them.

    As for how long.... quite a while. Depends on how many 'stars' your freezer has.

    Yep, cook, cool, package and freeze (don't eat BEFORE it gets to freezer:o )

    One thing on reheating though, keep it covered. I often add a wee bit of milk over the top just to help it stay moist. Nothing worse than dry lasagne and the pasta sheets have a tendency to scoff all the moisture on freezing.
