OK so I will not do Lasagne this year..

I am thinking about Chicken Parm. With a side of
pasta.. of some long and stringy sort.

how long can I freeze it? a couple of weeks?
and do I freeze it in water or as dry as I can get it??

BTW this is a pre thread to my menu thread..

You can freeze pasta for quite a while (couple weeks/months). Use a good, freezer-strength gallon Ziploc bag. I do it all the time when I make a huge batch and want to have it easily for lunches and stuff or for a convenience dinner instead of fast food (since we pretty much can't do fast food at our house any more).

I know you don't cook gluten-free, but Tinkyada makes a GREAT GF pasta.

Get some of those bag that sucks out all the air and seals it up!
