you know when you make up the layers of a lasagne..

[Heathcliffscathy]

can you then stick it in fridge and cook it next day? or do you have to cook it and then reheat it?

i've done the ragu and the bechamel.

now what?

it's for lunch tomorrow and the less i have to do in the morning the better given that after rellies at lunch there will be children and parents for bday tea....

tia

I would make up and leave in fridge.

it doesn't go weird cause you haven't cooked the pasta???

that's what i'm worried about. cause the pasta will absorb the liquid of the sauces won't it?

what about cooking it tonight and then reheating it?

will that food poison us all?

If you are using dried pasta it can sometimes start to curl upwards out of the sauce if you don't cook straightaway.

I would be inclined to fridge the sauces and then make up tomorrow just before bunging in the oven.

I leave it overnight frequently. The edges don't curl if you make sure that the top is totally covered (right to the corners) with sauce.

If you buy a ready-made one it's uncooked - it should be fine, shouldn't it?

I regularly make mine (made up) - with both sauces cooked but the pasta not - then freeze the whole lot- they freeze beautifully and then just cook once defrosted - yummy and no sign of food poisoning!

thank you ladies. it is sitting in fridge made up with sauce fully into corners!
