Storage:
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Reheating:
by baking on a sheet of aluminum foil at 350°F for 15 minutes.
Notes:
Be sure that the oil is at least 6” deep.
You can season plain breadcrumbs by adding a teaspoon of Italian seasoning.
If the temperature of the oil is too cold, the lasagna will soak up too much oil while cooking. If it’s too hot, it will burn.
Cutting a frozen lasagna can be challenging, which is why we recommend allowing it to thaw partially before slicing.
TIPS:
Breading the lasagna becomes more challenging as it thaws. You can set out the lasagna for 30 minutes-1 hour, then cut into pieces, bread them while still frozen, and then deep fry them later.
The quickest overall method is to bread and fry them while still frozen and then pop them into the oven for 15 minutes for
a final cook through.

IMPORTANT: When cooking larger pieces of lasagna, they will not heat all the way through in the
