I hope you enjoy them Erin. 🙂
Love this idea! How do you reheat them? Or maybe I should say at what temp.
I usually thaw them in the refrigerator overnight and then bake them at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes. You could also pop them in a crock pot of spaghetti sauce while still frozen and let them heat with the sauce.
Wow! What great timing! I just went to a freezer cooking class tonight. Can’t wait to try out your recipe!
They are great with homemade pasta sauce!
Thank you for the recipe! 🙂
No problem! I hope they turn out well for you.
