    Thanks for this. I have just chucked out half a pack that had gone manky and would never have thought of freezing it.

    I do have a nice pasta bake recipe with courgettes, feta and sun dried toms that I could have used it in if I had remembered it was there:o

    Yes I have chucked it out in the past but sometime ago I read that most things will freeze so decided instead of chucking anything out I would freeze it, if it dosent workout then nothing is wasted as it would have been binned anyway, if that makes sense.
