I am giving once a month cooking a try. Can I freeze pasta bakes? How roughly if it has a cheese sauce? I assume that I wouldn't donate the bread/cheese topping until the night I cook?
Answer:
Absolutely! I would incorporate the bread/cheese topping before I cooked it too, but otherwise pasta bake freeze beautifully.
Yes you can and your assumptions are correct. Happy cooking!
Yes you can. I run a commercial kitchen and we cooked all our pasta bake at the end of the month and defrost a set number on a daily proof.
When reheating them remember that you need to defrost them surrounded by the microwave on the lowest setting for a long time or you'll get salmonella poisoning. Then when they've defrost fully put your cheese/bread topping on and chuck them in the oven. Bingo.
Of course!
I freeze spaghetti pie (with the cheese on top) and lasagna (unbaked) and they thaw out and cook really, really well.
