You should be able to freeze it. Not sure if the pasta will be a little mushy, but if you are eating it next week or so I would think it would be okay.

I see where a lot of people say it'll get mushy, or the noodles don't hold up well, that's probably because they are not freezing it correctly. I grew up cooking for 8 people, and now only cook for 3, so it is hard to cook small meals, I freeze about everything! What you need is a good, airtight container with a firm fitting lid. Label with what is in it and the date. It can not be refrozen, so place in "meal-size" containers. Most food that is frozen fresh can last up to 12 months. Enjoy!!

You can't feeze noodles too well, but since you have it mixed w/ sauce, YES! That will be an awesome supper in a week or two after thawing (in the fridge or m/w) and will taste even better then than it did tonight!
You may want to cut up the noodles w/ a swipe or two of a knife thru the container, just so it thaws better.

Absolutely! Put it into a container that can go in the freezer. Make sure if you are freezing the noodles that they are covered in the sauce!

Yes. By all means it will freeze well if put in airtight container. Place in fridge to defrost the day you plan on eating it. Put in microwave safe plate or oven proof baking pan to heat. It is just as good as the day it was made.

Sure freeze it!
Or if you work in an office, take the leftovers for everyone to have for lunch, office people love leftovers!!!

Yes you can just seal it up in a Ziploc freezer bag and then you have like 2 months to use it I think. Just set out in fridge the night before to defrost when you want to cook it.

ideally, you cant. but because you dont want that to put into waste. you can try but you have to check if it is not yet spoiled before you eat it. i eat leftover spaghetti even from 3 days ago but it is still okay, but its not as good as the newly cooked. the noodles get sticky from reheating.

Yes, it's possible. However, don't put it in the freezer. It's not good for the moisture of the spaghetti. But, you should eat it as soon as possible!
