Can you freeze cold pasta salad?
Pasta salad usually has a dressing of some kind like oil and vinegar or a creamy mayonaisse based dressing. Freezing the type with a creamy dressing doesn't work very well because the dressing separates and the texture isn't very pleasant when it thaws out. The vinegar and oil type work a little better but in both cases any vegetables in the salad will be soft and mushy when thawed. So the bottom line is, you can but you probably won't like it when it's thawed.
What are the most popular pasta dishes?
Another simple way to make pasta is to boil some penne in boiling water with a tiny bit of oil and then seperately pour a bottle of pasta sause into a pan and saute it with peas and ham for a while. Finally add salt to your pasta and sauce and add mascapone last to the sauce aswell. Mix well, combine and serve hot! __________________ Probably the simplest is to toss the hot pasta with a little olive oil, black pepper, grated cheese and maybe some chopped green herbs. Next simplest is to cook onions, garlic and a pinch of sugar in olive oil on medium heat until onions are soft, raise heat a little and pour in some red wine; let it reduce and add a couple of cans of diced Italian tomatoes. Let it all simmer gently for an hour or so, giving a stir now and then. In the last half-hour or so, prepare the pasta, turn off heat under the sauce and finish with a few chunks of unsalted butter, stirring to melt. Mix some of the sauce with the pasta (not too much, you just want to coat the pasta) and serve with chopped green herbs and a bowl of freshly-grated cheese on the side so people can help themselves. If you don't use all the sauce, refrigerate in a covered glass or ceramic dish (not plastic or metal). Any pasta that's left can be stored in a plastic bag. It's all delicious reheated, either in a frypan or microwave. You could add mushrooms, chopped ham and so on. Or you could layer cooked pasta, sauce and grated cheese, top with more grated cheese and mushrooms, ham, hot sausage - whatever you like. Black olives are good. Bake it uncovered in a medium oven for half an hour or more, until it's all hot and blended together. You can cook pasta (short style such as spirals) and toss it with a little olive oil, then cool it under the cold tap and refrigerate it when fairly cool. It can be heated later to go with stews, casseroles and steak, or you can mix it cold with salad (chicken or tuna salad if you like) and dressing; this is good for outdoor eating since you don't have to keep it hot. __________________
