Wax paper! Doh. I never use wax paper, so I never think about it. I will try that next time. And we do have a chest freezer, so that helps. TY!!

It depends on what I’m making and what kind of pan- I have two pans that I use a lot. One is a 9×13 metal pan, and sometimes I put a piece of wax paper in the bottom before assembling a lasagna or other saucy thing so that once it’s frozen I can get it out easily. The other pan I use is a square Pyrex dish and I have great luck freezing in that. Occasionally I have to warm up the bottom of that one just a little before whatever I made will pop out. I think using my chest freezer helps. The food gets to 0F in there- It is frozen rock solid.

That is an excellent idea – and it will really just pop out of the pan?? Do you do something to prepare it?

Here is a tip for making and freezing food: Freeze it in the pan you want to bake it in. When it’s frozen solid, turn it out and wrap it tightly in plastic then foil. Label with directions and which pan you used. When it’s time to eat it, you can unwrap it and put it back into that pan. Then let it thaw in the fridge or for some recipes, you can just put it from the freezer into the pan then straight in the oven. This would be great for the recipe you posted…save you from using multiple bags for noodles, sauce, cheese.

There is jarred spaghetti, but it’s really icky. I’m fairly certain the main ingredient is salt, followed by water and then tomatoes. Hell, they might not even include tomatoes.

I’ll go with your homemade recipe :)

It is delicious & easy to freeze too! I’ve given it as a freezer meal for a new mama – it’s pretty universally acceptable :)

Thanks for posting this; it looks really good. We are going to have to try it. I’m finding myself trying out new recipes a lot. We were in a rut and new recipes just make cooking and eating dinner so much more appetizing.
