How Do You Freeze Pasta Dishes?

1. Make sure to only cook pasta noodles to Al Dente – They should not be mushy when frozen

3. Cover and freeze up to three months
4. Partially thaw the frozen pasta, and overnight in the fridge
5. Remove from the refrigerator for 30 minutes before heating
6. Preheat the oven and bake as directed
