Can you freeze pasta bake ?

jelly baby, 20 August, 2008 at 15:42 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 4

Now I now for you foodies out there this is nothing, but I actually made a rather yummy pasta bake last night totally from scratch. I know it's only simple but it was a big step forward for me 'cos I didn't even use a recipe - a first !!

We're trying to come up with meals that we can batch cook and freeze and was wondering if pasta bake would freeze ok. Anyone tried ?

    Yes it freezes well, Ive made lots of different one over the years and they all freeze ok, just make sure theyre cooked through piping hot once defrosted.

    I always freeze left over pasta dishes (I used them for lunches at work). They never taste quite as nice defrosted and reheated though.

    I haven't tried it but I wouldn't freeze pasta as I'm sure it would go mushy when defrosted. [poor impression of hazel]It's all in the molecules innit[/poor impression of hazel]?

    I tend not to freeze cooked dried pasta iyswim. I don't freeze rice or potato either if I can help it. The starch makes it go weird when you cook it back through.

    Ah, differing opinions then. I'll just do one for the freezer and see how it tastes. We do have potato that's been frozen and reheated (on shepherds pie) so probably won't notice the difference.
