    Hi poorandindenial,

    I would think that they will be fine. I would freeze raw rather than cooked as reheating them once they've been cooked can dry them out a bit. They do sound lovely!

    I've just made some pasta which contains turkey (cooked yesterday and reheated), white sauce, pasta, peas (from frozen), broccoli (from fresh). Can I freeze this (not sure because of turkey) or at least refridgerate it?

    Thanks

    Nicki - probably best not to. I can't imagine that the pasta will be very pleasant once frozen and covered in a sauce. I'd stick it in the fridge and eat it tonight.

    . I have never seen that on any packaging and have not asked the assistant if it had been frozen before. They may just be covering themselves but it is probably not worth the risk.


    I've often seen in on packs of prawns in the chiller cabinets. I've seen it in Somerfield too on their finish-in-the-oven-part-baked baguettes.

    Yes you can freeze it. But as already said it will keep for ages in the fridge.
