Slightly undercook the pasta. Cook pasta al dente, which is slightly undercooked. If the box says to cook for 9-11 minutes, the timer for cooking the noodles should be set for 8 minutes.
Rinse cooked pasta under running cold water. The cooler water helps to stop the cooking process, and it’s the same reason we put Instant Pot Hard-boiled Eggs into a water bath. It also lets the pasta cool completely.
Toss the fresh pasta with olive oil. Olive oil will help keep the pasta from sticking together as it freezes, as you store it, and when you use it in your recipe later.
Freeze the cooked pasta. Place the pasta on a baking sheet in a single layer. This is important – if the pasta is not in a single layer, it will clump together as it freezes.
