Accidentally made a massive lasagne and feel panicky

As title, really.

I made a vegetable lasagne this afternoon and it’s turned out much bigger than intended, with an estimated weight of around two stone.

Albeit very nice, it is rather rich for my taste, using cream cheese in lieu of béchamel, not to mention the secret layer of fresh basil leaves. It’s only me to eat it and I don’t think I can face it for some time after one more serving tomorrow. Freezer is full. Neighbours all vegan.

The huge lasagne is cooling off in my now extinguished oven while tough decisions are made. Feeling a bit hot and panicky about it.

What do?

Neighbours ALL vegan?!

I'm guessing she lives in Bristol.

Neighbours ALL vegan?!

Honestly I’d love it if a neighbour offered me homemade lasagne, can you put a message on FB for local friends?

Portion it up, and squeeze one or two in the freezer, there must be SOME room?! Then the others will last a good few days in the fridge so you don’t have to have it tomorrow. What about taking some to work?

Well you made me laugh at least

Take it to work tomorrow? My office would see to it in no time!

I find the thought of a two stone veggie lasagne very soothing. Don't panic, you've got this.

All your neighbours are vegan???

Just portion it and then put it in the freezer

Play freezer Tetris - portion it into single servings and squeeze it into the corners.

Sounds like a job for Garfield!!

You might be able to get rid of some using the Olio app.

What about taking stuff out if the freezer for tomorrow, and tomorrow taking stuff out for the day after, and filling the gaps with portions of lasagne?

Make room in the freezer and freeze it in small portions.

If your freezer is full then eat some of the freezer stuff rather than making 2 stone lasagnes!

Vanillalover84 · 08/04/2024 18:04

Can you cook some of the other stuff in your freezer, put that in your fridge to use over the next few days, and freeze the lasagna?

Defrost something or put it in the fridge to eat all week or invite people over to finish it tomorrow.

Isseywith3witchycats · 08/04/2024 18:03

pull a couple of meals that can be out of the freezer and put those in the fridge dinners for the next couple of days portion and cling film todays lasagne and put those in the freezer saves you making any lasagne for a while

I did this once with a crustless quiche thingy and had to eat it for a week. I never made it again. Good Luck.
