    How to Store and Reheat Comfort Food

    Store any of these easy comfort food recipes in an airtight container (once cooled to room temperature) and place in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Most of these are also freezer-friendly so you can store them for up to 3 months in the freezer!

    For any stovetop comfort dinners (such as soups, curries, and pastas), you can reheat again over the stove on medium-low heat until warmed through. You may have to add a splash of water if there is any sauce as it will have likely thickened up when stored in the refrigerator.

    For casserole-type dishes like lasagna and pasta bakes, you can also reheat over the stove, or you can reheat in the oven at 300F for 10-15 minutes, or air fryer for 5-10 minutes, until fully warmed through.

    Refer to the specific recipe post for full storing and reheating instructions.

    Description

    Over 50 best comfort food recipes including warm pastas and lasagna, cozy soups and curries, creamy and cheesy dinners, and vegetarian comfort food. One of my favorites is this Meat Lasagna.


    Ingredients

    For the lasagna noodles:

    • 9 dry lasagna noodles
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 teaspoon salt

    For the meat sauce:

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 lb. ground beef
    • 1 cup onion, finely chopped
    • 2 tablespoons garlic, minced
    • 3 cups tomato sauce
    • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
    • 1 teaspoon salt
    • ¼ cup fresh parsley, finely chopped 

    For the cheese mixture:

    • 2 cups ricotta cheese
    • 1 + ½ cups mozzarella cheese, shredded and divided
    • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated and divided
    • 1 egg, beaten
    • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 375 F.
    2. Cook the lasagna noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium high heat. Add lasagna noodles, olive oil and salt and cook until al dente (fully cooked but still firm), or according to package directions, about 10 minutes. Rinse the noodles under cold water to stop the cooking process and set aside in the pot.
    3. Prepare the meat sauce: Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven for 2 minutes over medium-high heat until the oil is sizzling hot. Add ground beef and cook for 5-7 minutes until browned. Add onion and garlic. Stir well to combine and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until tender. Pour tomato sauce, tomato paste, salt and parsley. Stir well to mix and bring the meat sauce to a simmer. Turn the heat down to low and let it simmer for 10 minutes uncovered. Set aside.
    4. Prepare the cheese mixture: In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella, ¼ cup Parmesan, beaten egg, and parsley. Stir well to combine together.
    5. Assemble the lasagna:
      1. Sauce: Evenly spread 1 cup of the meat sauce in a 9x13 baking pan.
      2. Noodles: Place 3 lasagna noodles evenly apart over the meat sauce.
      3. Cheese: Spread ½ of the cheese mixture evenly over the noodles.
      4. Sauce: Spread ½ the remaining meat sauce on top.
      5. Noodles: Top with another layer of 3 lasagna noodles.
      6. Cheese: Spread remaining half of cheese mixture.
      7. Noodles: Top with last 3 pieces of lasagna noodles.
      8. Sauce: Add remaining meat sauce on top.
      9. Shredded cheese: Top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese.
    6. Bake the lasagna: Lightly grease a large piece of aluminum foil and cover the pan with the greased side inside. Greasing the foil prevents the melted cheese from sticking to the foil while baking. Bake the lasagna covered for 45 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake uncovered for another 20 minutes or until the melted cheese turns golden brown and bubbly. Optionally, turn on broiler on high and broil for 3-4 minutes to get a crispy and brown cheesy crust. But keep a close eye on the broiler as things can burn quickly.
    7. Cool down: Let the lasagna cool for 10 minutes before serving.
    • Prep Time: 25 minutes
    • Cook Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
    • Category: Casserole
    • Method: Baked
    • Cuisine: Italian
