"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

FREEZER MEAL INSTRUCTIONS
Once everything is cooked, let it cool just a little. You don’t want it to be hot or it will trap a lot of moisture. Once it is cooled, then you can put it in a container.
I would suggest freezing it in a airtight container, in a foil pan or even in a freezer Ziplock bag. All three ways will work just fine.
Because it is already cooked, all you have to do it take it out of the freezer, let it thaw over night, and heat it up. Oven or microwave works great for reheating. It’s that simple.
