How long will lasagna last if left in the refrigerator?!


Question: How long will lasagna last if left in the refrigerator!?
I cooked some lasagna, well actually, manicotti last Tuesday!. I don’t want to throw it away, but I am also a stickler about eating leftovers – especially when they’ve been left in the refrigerator for more than a few days!. I used a mixture of ground beef and turkey, spaghetti sauce with spices, ricotta and mozzerella cheeses!. I left it in the clear pyrex dish that I cooked it in, and wrapped each end of the dish with plastic Wal-Mart bags!. It has been in the refrigerator, but I am wondering if that would still be safe to eat!? Could I even freeze it at this point!? I don’t want it to go to waste, but I should have sliced it up and stored it in the freezer days ago!.Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Yes!.!.!.!.pop it in the freezer immediately!. Just as you've wrapped it!. It will be fine, defrosted and reheated!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

You kinda answered you own question!.Throw it away It has been in the frig to long already!. If any prepared food is in frig more than 5 days I throw away learn from your mistakes!. Next time if not eaten in say three days either freeze or throw now a days you are taking a chance on the 5 day to be honest!.It is better to waste than to get food poisoning!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

if you wrapped the lasagna or manicotti properly it could last up to a couple weeks!. Even if you freeze it in the freezer it'll last even longer!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I would say no longer than 3 days!. The bacteria has already settled in!. When you reheat it DO NOT USE A MICROWAVE!
Heat in the oven at 350 degrees for at least 45 minutes!. Microwave overns do no kill bacteria!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

A couple days!. Throw it in the freezer and it'll be good for a couple months!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

i think it would be fine to use or freeze tonight!.
re-heat in oven!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
