It happens to everyone: you get home late, open the fridge and realize there’s nothing ready to eat. In these situations, keeping a supply of fresh pasta in the freezer can be a simple and convenient solution.
Fresh pasta can indeed be stored in the freezer while preserving the quality and characteristics of the pasta dough.
Can you freeze handmade fresh pasta? The answer is yes.
Keeping some of your favourite pasta varieties in the freezer means always having the perfect base for a delicious first course, even when you have little time to cook.
Simply choose the right sauce to turn fresh pasta into a quick and tasty meal, from the simplest recipes to richer combinations.
Three ideas to bring it to the table
Spaghetti alla chitarra with red pesto are a simple yet flavourful combination.
The texture of the pasta meets a creamy sauce made with sun-dried tomatoes and basil, creating a fragrant first course that is quick and easy to prepare.
For those who love timeless classics, there are ricotta and spinach ravioli with butter and sage.
The soft and delicate filling is enhanced by the simplicity of melted butter and the aroma of fresh sage: just a few ingredients for a timeless dish.
Another delicious idea is tagliatelle alla Norma, where fresh pasta meets a sauce made with fried aubergines, tomato and salted ricotta.
A rich and flavourful combination that brings the aromas of the Mediterranean to your table.
A delicious supply always ready
Having fresh pasta on hand means you can prepare something tasty even on the busiest days, without giving up the pleasure of a carefully made dish.
You can choose your favourite pasta shapes and pair them with a different sauce each time, creating a first course for any occasion in just a few minutes.
The fresh pasta and sauces from Il Tortellino Ferrarese are available in our shop in Ferrara and also online. Stock up on your favourites and always keep a good idea ready in the freezer.
