I wanted to bring a nice warm lunch for my colleagues at work. The problem is we don’t have enough space for all of us to sit and use silverware. And I don’t have the time to prepare a meal at the office. So, what I did was layer lasagna the day before and just baked the lasagna the next day at work. For this dish you just need an oven and a plate and fork for each. Everybody really loved it!
