This is how to make parmesan pasta in one pan (TIKTOK)
We Israelis love Italian food - it cannot be denied, but not all Italian food lovers know that it is possible and even recommended to freeze most of the favorite Italian foods to enjoy them at a later date.
Celebrity chef Aldo Zilli recommends that families cook Italian food in batches, that is, prepare a large amount at once and freeze for the rest of the week, so that you can enjoy your favorite dish any time you want without having to buy or prepare it again.
He also promises that it won't spoil the taste.
Speaking to the Mirror, Aldo confirmed that there are a variety of dishes that can be safely frozen - including pasta.
Moreover, he recommends batch cooking lasagna and risotto.
The chef, born in Italy, believes that many will be happy to use his tips in light of the global cost of living crisis and the need to save money.
Not only are the ingredients of Italian food usually cheap, the dishes are relatively easy to prepare.
He added: "It's accessible. It's not expensive and it's also family food."
As such, he advises families to get the most out of batch cooking - and whether you have a large family or not, you can freeze all the delicious leftovers for another time.
"If you have a family, Italian batch cooking is very efficient. You can freeze your food," advised Aldo, "Make a large lasagna and then divide it and put it in the freezer. Make lasagna a la parmigiana or eggplant parmigiana and then divide and put it in the freezer. Make fresh pasta and put it in the freezer, make gnocchi and put it in the freezer. All these things can be frozen and used when needed and cooked from frozen."

Yes, you read that right, you can cook many of these dishes straight from the freezer.
"You can cook pasta from the freezer, you can also cook gnocchi straight from the freezer, it takes three or four minutes and that's it," said Aldo, "you can make a big risotto, you can make arancini, you know the risotto bowls, you can freeze them too Then fry them from the freezer."
Many of the Italian dishes also have a long shelf life in the freezer.
For example, fresh pasta can last several months in the freezer, according to the expert.

This is how you freeze pasta:
While his tips are valid for both home-made and store-bought meals, he of course recommends mostly home cooking.
Aldo said: "I advise people to cook more from scratch, make fresh pasta from scratch if they can. Get 00 flour (very fine Italian white flour), strong flour, keep it in the cupboard and just make pasta when you can. Make it fun for the kids and enjoy cooking at home Instead of ordering from outside."
