So I made pasta yesterday mixed it up for a pasta bake and stuck it in the fridge for lunch today. Today I have baked it in oven, but not all eaten., can I reheat it again (even if I have to freeze it) or has it already been reheated since I made the pasta fresh yesterday and baked it in oven today?!
The pasta has already been cooked, cooled and reheated so shouldn't be reheated again- even if the rest of the ingredients have only been cooked once. Hope that makes sense.

I would put portion sizes in a bowl and zap in the microwave until piping hot.

That's what I thought , I never reheat food twice., ok thanks a mil! So in future I would be better making the pasta right before I put it in the oven then it will be only cooked once and I can reheat again?
Loocyloo, I probably would risk eating it myself, but would not feed it to a mindee as you should only reheat stuff once.
Murphf- if you cooked the pasta then put it straight in the oven as bake (so it stayed hot), then yes you would be able to reheat it.

I hadn't read it properly ... ( can't do roll eyes smiley on phone!) Yes if pasta cooked day before then I wouldn't reheat again. I always cook pasta for a bake as I'm cooking the bake and therefore would reheat as it's only once. ( but only reheat portion sizes rather than the whole thing )

The dog is in luck tonight! Luckily not that much left as thought I had one mindee staying to lunch then didn't.. Hate wasting it but not worth the risk and it's not a waste if I save on dog food I guess!
I would eat it myself and give it to hubby but not a mindee. DD is very sensitive and so she keeps me on my toes as she would probably just vomit if I didn't follow rules to a tee!

Yeah I'd eat it myself and give it to husband but wouldn't risk feeding to my son or mindees just in case!

There wasn't any meat in it it was just pasta and sauce and cheese and veggies so really probably very little risk..
Anyway I had luckily made too much pasta so had made a seperate one for us this pm
Which dh polished off so everyone happy!
