| Hi all. We're having a small (20) get-together for our son's 1st bday and I'd like to serve lasagna. No time to make it this week...we live in DC. Can any one recommend somewhere we can buy a tray of really good lasagna? I'm willing to order from a restaurant or buy premade (think Costco, etc.) if someone can tell me it's good! Thank you for your help. |

| Stouffers (probably available at Costco, or available at Giant/Safeway) is pretty good! You can pick it up early since it's frozen and just stick it in your freezer until party day. |

| Thanks for the ideas PPs. |

Vace in Cleveland Park sells both meat and vegetarian frozen lasagnas. Haven't tried it, though. The freezer section is small, so I would call ahead to make sure they have what you want.

| Vace's lasagnas are amazing - I esp like the spinach one, but my DH loves the meat one, too. They don't look huge, but they are really thick/high so they feed a lot more than you'd expect. They also have really good frozen meatballs and fresh pastas. And fresh mozerella cheese for an app! I love Vace! |

| Thanks, PPs! I forgot about Vace....adore their pizza and have noticed that they have lasagna but wouldn't have thought of it had you not brought it up. Thank you! |

I hate you, OP. Now I'm craving lasagne.

| Costco lasagna IS good. It's delicious. It's not low fat though. Full fat mozzerella and ricotta from what I can tell. I was at a friends for dinner and had delicious lasagna. I asked her for her recipe and she confided that it was from Costco. I've only ever bought one myself b/c it's just too much food for my small family, and it's WAY too much fat for us. But trust me, it's good. |

Cosco lasagnas ARE good - thanks for the reminder! When we lived on Cap Hill I used to do a lot of meals on wheels for new moms, and I frequently made these and just added salad bread and dessert. I am so glad to be reminded of them! We live further from Costco now, but I think I need to make a run over there...

Maggiano's, hands down.
I've tried Vace and love it but Maggiano's is in a class of its own. A friend with a few restaurants also loves it! |

| Second Vace. And remember that lasangna take a long time to cook from frozen. I forget the exact time, but it may be close to two hours. |
