Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. As with many pasta leftovers, this lazy lasagna can be a bit dry when reheating it, because the pasta soaks in any residual moisture as it sits. When reheating, add a tablespoon or two of water to help it become saucy again.
