I've just made a huge batch of bolognese, and wondered is it ok to mix it with cooked pasta then freeze? Don't fancy it myself, but so much more convenient..hmm

the alternative is to freeze the sauce in portions and then just make the pasta when you need it. Pasta goes a bit squishy after freezing and defrosting

You can freeze pasta but I agree that it is nicer made when you need it, just freeze the sauce, it's not like spaghetti is very hard to make.

Yep you can freeze it with the sauce just fine, I do and heat the whole lot up in the oven, but obviously it is easy to just freeze the sauce and cook the pasta as and when needed too.
