Is a whole lasagna too much to try to refrigerate? I already left it on the counter for an hour, and it's still quite warm, and I wonder how long it's going to take to cool down completely in the fridge.
I usually don't worry much because I always make vegetable lasagnas, but I tried a meat one this time and I didn't really think ahead.

Nah, you're good. Stick that mofo in the refrigerator.
By the way, if that's the lasagna you're talking about, it looks delicious.

It'll be fine on the counter for probably another hour or two, then stick it in the fridge when it cools down some more.

you'll be fine. the meat is cooked. no dangerous bugs. don't put it in the fridge to cool it down, because that's gonna break your fridge. let it cool down in the oven.

It steams and condensates on the lid. Then it's all soggy when you reheat it.

Who the hell puts noodles in rigatoni????

The reason you shouldn't put a hot dish in the fridge is because it heats up the food around it.
Just put it in a cold water bath dummy.
