can you freeze this
Hi Lynn. Yes you can freeze this! I’d leave off the panko topping until just before baking so they stay crispy. Assemble. Wrap well and freeze. I’d thaw it a bit before baking. Then top with panko. It make take a bit longer to bake. I’d bake covered with foil for the first 40 minutes and then uncover and continue baking another 15 to 30 until bubbly.
Does chicken or spaghetti need to be cooked before going in to the casserole thank you, Debbie
Hi Debbie. Yes you need to use cooked cubed or shredded chicken and boiled spaghetti but don’t over cook the pasta. Better to even under boil it a bit because it will bake in the oven. Hope you love it!
