Two nights ago I baked a batch of this meatless family favorite (made with Lasagna noodles that have been cut in half). After dinner the remaining portions were placed in single serving Ziploc containers and into my freezer they went. Individual portions will be reheated in my microwave for a quick dinner on busy nights. If reheating, I add a little more tomato sauce. Served with a veggie salad and Garlic Parmesan Toast. Yum!
