Making individual lasagnes cook in the week

[Nowanextraone]

The kids love lasagne but by the time I'm home from work, we've done their clubs etc I just can't be bothered.
This week I've decided to make some up tomorrow that can be chucked in the oven in the week.

My question is, do I cook them tomorrow and then reheat them in the week or do I leave them uncooked? Can I freeze them? The same question applies about cooking them first?

Thank you!

Cook them first, then yes freezing and reheating works well.

I make a big batch of ragu, & freeze in portion sizes, so quite easy to prepare a lasagne with the defrosted meat.

I also make moussaka or cottage pie with the ragu.

Dh makes a large lasagne and cooks it and then portions it up into tubs for freezing

Id make two lasagnas up and leave in the fridge for 3 days
then did cook both of them for tea on Wednesday and put one on the table to eat and the other in the freezer for the following week.

I batch cook the ragu. Then you can freeze in portions - so can defrost the quantity you want and assemble a lasagne or have with pasta.

I also make individual lasagne in foil trays to freeze. I assemble the lasagnes and then freeze prior to oven baking. Usually I top up with a splash or 2 of milk and then add the cheese to the top before baking.

I make the ragu up and then assemble them in souper cube ice cube blocks. After 24 I pop them out the moulds and freeze in individual freezer bags to save space. Take one out pop it in a dish (ikea happen to make one the perfect size) and defrost then cook as normal! Perfect!

I make several family sized lasagnes at a time.

The ragu is cooked for hours, then I assemble the lasagnes using homemade pasta and Bechamel, grate cheese on the top and freeze them without oven cooking. When I want to use them, I take them out to defrost, and once defrosted just carry on cooking from where I left off (so basically bung them in the oven until they're done.) I guess if you want to microwave reheat rather than oven cook them, you'd need to oven cook them before freezing. Freezing then oven cooking makes them taste like freshly made but better because the flavours have had time to develop, but it won't be as convenient as just being able to bung individual portions in the microwave.

So, I think I'm saying (long windedly) if you want something akin to a ready meal which you can just reheat in the microwave - oven first, but if you want something that's more like a straight from the oven fresh cooked lasagne, then freeze before oven cooking and put in the oven when defrosted.

Have you seen the viral 'lasagne soup'? Basically broken lasagne sheets cooked in your ragu/meat sauce (with extra water/stock added) then can be topped with bechamel, cheese, croutons etc. I always have batch cooked bolognese in my freezer and its great for when you want a lasagne but done have the time. I found its trial an error regarding how soupy you like it.. I tend to use less stock
