Equipment

  • airtight container
  • marker or pen
  • freezer bags

Ingredients

  • Spaghetti plain noodles or noodles with sauce

Instructions

  • This method works for plain noodles or noodles with sauce (with or without meat)
  • Completely cool off your noodles before getting started.
  • Portion our the noodles to the amounts you will want to use when defrosted.
  • Transfer the each portion over to an airtight container or freezer bag.
    note: if using sauce, it can stain a container, just be aware. also, if using a container, try to size it so that there is only 1 - 2 inches between the spaghetti and the lid (to reduce airflow).
  • Zip your bag shut after squeezing all of the air out of the bag. Or, place the lid on top of the container.
  • Label your package with the date and toss it into the freezer.

Notes

Cool it down: make sure to totally cool the spaghetti off before getting started.
Portion it out: decide what portion sizes you will need and then freeze in those portions.  That way you can defrost just the amounts you need each time.
Do it fresh: package and freeze it as soon as you can.  This will help to seal it the maximum taste, texture and quality.
