I guess I'm a little different - whenever I make lasagna, I always make two pans since it's not much more time consuming than only making one and freeze one for another time. I use the Barilla no-cook noodles and freeze BEFORE baking. I consider it "money in the bank" having that extra pan there for whenever I might need it. Never had a problem going from freezer to oven. Start out (covered) in a low (300) oven for about an hour and then turn it up to 350 and bake another half hour or so. Then it needs to sit for about 20 minutes before serving. This is coming from a 100% Italian from North Jersey who has made a LOT of lasagna - lol.

I bake mine first then cut in squares (sizes you would like), then freeze it in containers. It's great to reheat and not have to wait so long to let the whole thing bake, if you did freeze it before baking it. I never use any short cuts, I buy good noodles and ingredients, if not it won't be as good. Stick to the traditional way you'll be happier you did.

I bake it and freeze it. Everyone I know bakes it and then freezes it. That's what makes the freezing a time saver. If you freeze it uncooked, you have to thaw it and then bake it and you really haven't saved yourself much time.

I also bake mine first and then freeze it in individual servings.

I freeze it ALL the time after it's been baked. Works out great!!

It works either way...

I always bake first then freeze. The no boil GF pasta noodles are a must! It's really tricky to boil rice or corn noodles as they can turn to mush if you're not careful. First time I used the no boil noodles I was convenience... So, if you are gluten free, give it a try... Then, freeze the left overs! Have fun and enjoy!
