Recipe FAQ
Nothing is worse than the noodles tearing when they stick together after cooking. I suggest tossing them with a bit of olive oil after cooking them so they won’t stick together.
Sure thing! Simply prepare the dish as instructed all the way up through getting them ready for the oven. When they’re rolled and in the dish, cover the entire dish with plastic wrap and foil, and freeze the dish for up to two months. Thaw it out in the fridge overnight and then continue with baking. You may need to extend the cooking time by 5-10 minutes since it’s cold inside.
Leftovers & Storing
- Store. Leftovers in the fridge for up to five days or in the freezer for up to two months. You can freeze them individually wrapped, which makes it easy to pull out a single serving or freeze them in a casserole dish together.
- Reheat. A single serving in the microwave or you can reheat multiple portions in a 350° F oven for 15-20 minutes or until heated through.
