When to freeze the lasagne???!

Just made a (quorn and veg) lasagne for a friend who's just had a baby. Made the 'meat' mix and white sauce from scratch and have layered it in a dish with dry lasagne sheets.

So basically it's now at the point that it should be baked but as she's still in hospital with the LO I would like to bung it in the freezer til she needs it.

SO - eventually! - do you freeze it now at this point or should I cook as if I were going to have it now and THEN freeze it.

Or, in fact, does it not really matter either way???!!

Have done both but think its better if freeze before cooking, only freeze leftovers for DD after cooking when it gets bunged in a microwave

I cook THEN freeze. Then you've just got to microwave it in portions once its defrosted a bit.

Lasagne doesn't freeze too well either way, but obviously you need to in this instance. I'd cook it, but leave it sligthly underdone. Also make it a bit wetter than usual as it tends to dry up when it's been frozen.

personally I'd cook it then freeze portions in takeaway boxes for easy microwaving
