Let me show you how that lasagna from Spindini worked out!<\/p>\n

For those of you who missed my previous post, Saturday I walked down to Spindini, which has been converted into South Main Grocery to help keep people supplied during the coronavirus pandemic. In one of the grab & go cases, I found a single-serve lasagna for $5-6, which seemed like a heck of a deal for a good-sized piece of lasagna from an Italian restaurant.<\/p>\n

That’s what it looked like when I brought it home. Now my questions were, how do I get the lasagna out of the plastic container without messing up all the layers, and how long do I heat it to get it done all the way through?<\/p>\n

Extracting the lasagna proved to not be a problem: Upside down with the lid loosened, right side up into a bowl. So far so good.<\/p>\n

Based on my experience heating up frozen microwave lasagna, and keeping in mind that this lasagna was refrigerated, not frozen, I took my best guess as how long to heat it up in the microwave: 2 minutes on high, 4 minutes on 50%, let stand 2 minutes before taking it out. My guess turned out to be on target. The lasagna came out gooey and cheesy and warm all the way through.<\/p>\n

Easily the best refrigerated\/reheated lasagna I have ever had. There was cheesiness in every bite, and plenty of sausage inside for an outstanding flavor. I will absolutely go back to South Main Grocery for more lasagna and to try other meals from their grab & go.<\/p>\n
