Can I assemble lasagna the day before I cook it. This is with fresh pasta. I’m worried the pasta will be soggy

2Is there any particular reason you can't cook it the day before? 2nd day lasagne I feel would be far preferable. Also see https://cooking.stackexchange.com/questions/81009/can-fresh-pasta-sheets-be-used-to-assemble-a-lasagne-then-left-in-the-fridge-ov?rq=1 – Tetsujin Jan 31 '20 at 16:40

2Conventional wisdom say to bake it now and reheat the day after; some people will say it tastes better. – Max Jan 31 '20 at 17:15

Rather than fresh pasta you can use no boil dry lasagna sheets, these work well wen pre-assembling the day before. – GdD Jan 31 '20 at 18:45

@GdD - that's a bit like saying "rather than fresh strawberries you can use jam" - the results are just too far different to be adequate substitutes for each other. – Tetsujin Jan 31 '20 at 20:01

I'm not sure I'd agree the differences are quite that marked, but that's just my opinion. When you want to pre-assemble lasagna there are trade-offs @Tetsujin, hence why I put this as a comment, not an answer. – GdD Jan 31 '20 at 23:20
