Freezing rice and pasta?

Hello 
I've just started [sort of] batch cooking, and I was wondering when I make meals with rice and pasta in them, can the rice and pasta be frozen after I've cooked it, or should I just freeze the sauces and make the rice or pasta as I go during the week?
Freezing the whole lot would be easier, but I'm just not sure if rice and pasta is reheatable again?

Found it. It's ok to freeze both. but add a bit of water when heating in microwave.
Found this about rice:
"Yes [can be frozen] if it has been cooked same day and is thoroughly reheated when defosted. Left over rice is very difficult to keep safely once cool as in rice salad as very nasty food poisening can result."
