If you’re cooking for two, or just need a little help with freezer space ideas, here’s a little tip.

When making lasagna or other casserole dishes, consider loaf pans. These little gems are exactly the right width for a lasagna noodle, and one pan is great for those who live alone, couples or smaller families.

Simply make the same quantity of all ingredients that you’d use for one standard lasagna, and then divide it into three or four loaf pans. This is also a great option for sending food home with a college kid or sharing your stellar lasagna with anyone.

In my house we use this trick to avoid getting tired of leftovers and to solve fridge and freezer jams. They fit into smaller spaces!

Oh… and try this trick with any casserole!
