Join the discussionDo you cook the shells before freezing? And if so do you cook them completely? I thought pasta did not freeze well.
Hi Tangela, you don’t cook the shells ahead of time. You can freeze pasta – it changes the consistency a small bit – but it isn’t typically a huge deal. Sometimes it can be depending on your taste preference. To freeze pasta it is best to cook it until just al dente.
