What to do with excess pasta

[Minnie18]

I cooked too much pasta last night. I let it cool and popped it in the fridge. Any ideas what I could do with it?
Also can you re heat pasta? if so how?
Thanks very much from a nervous new cook.. 😊

You can eat it cold. Mix with some veg and a little mayo and make a nice pasta salad. I have cold pasta for lunch most days with carrots peppers sweetcorn mixed in.

Those ideas sound great. I will give them a try. how long does the cooked pasta last? just a day or two?

You can easily reheat as well! Just microwave

Thanks for that tip but I don't have a microwave.

You could also drop it in boiling water to reheat it.

I keep cold pasta for a few days.

Thanks I will have a go at reheating a little bit to try it out.

Could you turn it into a pasta bake and freeze it?

That sounds a great idea but I wouldn't know how to do that.

I make this for my dd, pasta in a pan with a few spoons of olive oil, a pinch of salt, a spoon of oregano, a stir in dolmio sun dried tomato small sauce. Grated cheese and a few spoons of water and heat it up, stirring it. Then serve with more grated cheese and parmasen if you have it, she loves it. I would use cold pasta if I had it and you can eat it hot or chill it for a salad.
