cooking/freezing question

I made stuffed pasta shells tonight and had a TON of filling leftover for some reason. Does anyone know if it's freezable? It's various cheeses....mostly ricotta, mozzarella...that kind of stuff.

Yum. I know nothing about freezing them, but I do have some leftover ricotta. Care to share your recipe?

I think you'd be fine.  I used to freeze lasagna all the time.  It might be a watery upon thawing, but still fine.  If I were you though, I'd probably pick up more shells to assemble more and freeze those readymade.

yes, this.

Luckily the recipe only used half the box, so I'll probably cook more pasta tomorrow and then freeze. Thanks!

It was the recipe on the back of the Barilla Jumbo Shells, except that I substituted for the two expensive cheeses. Yeah...not going to spend $10 on a block of cheese.

If you don't have that kind of pasta where you live, I can type out the recipe for you....but not tonight because I'm about to slip into a food coma. So.much.cheese....

Hmmmm... Cheese...
But yeah, I would definitely freeze it.

We do have Barilla, thanks. I tried making stuffed shells once before, but without ricotta since DH claims a hatred for it. Didn't turn out well at all. So I've decided that ricotta is just one of those things that I'm going to sneak into recipes without his knowledge, for his own good.
