Thread: freezing pasta

Morning,having a batch cooking day and would like to know if I cook pasta in a bolognaise bake is it alright to freeze?
Thanx
:-)

I've never done it myself but I've just looked it up online and the general consensus seems to be that it's fine. I'll be interested to hear how you get on with it.

thank you,will report back :-)

I've never tried it but it shouldn't be a problem, I've frozen lasagne before and that's the same thing really

Yeah I've frozen a pasta bake before that I had cooked. Just microwave it and keep checking it until it's hot all the way through.

I find that it can go a little soggy when reheating so if i was cooking just for the purposes of freezing it i would not cook the pasta for the whole cooking time, i would leave it more al dente. That might save it from going soggy. Maybe. I only ever freeze leftovers which have been fully cooked.

Thanks for your replies .
I made pasta bol bake,chickpea and pot curry,mixed bean chilli all now in the freezer :-)
will let ypu know how they turned out.

Thats what I find too when I reheat frozen leftovers - still nice enough to eat though
