freezing fresh pasta in sheets

[Niall Smyth]

Hi all

I love making fresh pasta but its messy

I know I can freeze the dough unrolled but can I freeze it rolled out?

The machine is the messy bit so I want to just take it out of the freezer and cook it

TIA

Yes. But keep in mind that it becomes very brittle when frozen. It's also likely to stick together
if you leave it touching while it thaws. Plastic wrap or wax paper between layers.

roll out your sheets of pasta and sandwich them between parchment paper( so you can easily remove
just the ammount you require)and then put into a freezer box--like tupperware--. if you do this then
the pasta sheets stay flat and will not break when frozen.
