Pasta Dishes

Pasta is the perfect comfort food. Whether you are making an Italian pasta recipe, a pasta recipe with chicken or shrimp, or another easy pasta dish, there are many different types of easy to make comfort foods that are sure to please anyone. Tell me what is your favorite pasta dish!

I have always loved the little extras in pasta dishes, really good olive oil, garlic, fresh basil, maybe even some heat from red pepper flakes. A splash of red or white wine, a scrumptious homemade or store-bought tomato sauce or pasta sauce, all go a long way! And don’t forget the simple seasonings of salt and pepper to bring the whole of the ingredients together.

Can You Freeze Pasta?

While pasta cooking isn’t exactly rocket science, some people, especially those pressed for time need to find ways to save a few minutes when it comes to making dinner. This is especially true for already constructed pasta dishes like casseroles.

Frozen, cooked pasta tends to quickly reheat, ensuring you have some warm and delicious comfort food fast and efficiently.

To freeze and thaw plain pasta:

Store cooked pasta in airtight containers in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Cool the pasta slightly, drizzle with cooking oil, toss gently, and spoon into the airtight containers.
To defrost frozen pasta place the content of the container into a colander in the sink and run tepid water over it.

To freeze and reheat pre-made pasta dishes:

First, make sure all ingredients in your pasta dish can be frozen. Some foods like lettuce and cucumbers, soft cheeses, mayonnaise, and cream should not be frozen.
Place the premade dish into an airtight container or freezer bag and place it into the freezer, labeled with the date you froze it.
To reheat frozen pasta dishes, remove the casserole dish or airtight container from the freezer, placing it into the fridge for a minimum of 24 hours prior to cooking. Preheat the oven and bake the casserole as per instructions adding extra time if necessary.
