Discover how, as a chef, you can save time and effort by using frozen fresh pasta.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Time is often a challenge in the professional kitchen. A horeca entrepreneur who finds the right balance between ready-made convenience products and fresh ingredients has a competitive edge. Let\u2019s take you back to summer and show you how to quickly make a fresh pasta salad.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h4><strong>FROZEN FRESH PASTA ADVANTAGES<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Frozen fresh pasta is ideal for preparing cold pasta salads. Our pasta is already perfectly <em>al dente<\/em> cooked, saving time and effort. Simply warm the pasta briefly, let it cool, and you have fresh, ready-to-use pasta for your salads.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-7200\" src=\"https:\/\/smilingcook.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/chef-at-work-800x800.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe still often see our customers pre-cooking dry pasta in the morning and storing it in water in the fridge for later service,\u201d says <strong>Jules Selvais<\/strong>, culinary advisor at The Smiling Cook. \u201cThis is not only labor-intensive, but the pasta absorbs a lot of moisture, loses flavor, and becomes mushy. Additionally, it\u2019s hard to predict how many dishes will be sold that day. Leftovers are either discarded or kept for the next day. The result is unfortunate in both cases: loss of revenue or mushy pasta.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong><em>\u201cUsing this pasta saves a lot of time and effort.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The solution is simple. The pasta from The Smiling Cook is made from fresh pasta dough and is immediately frozen individually after cooking using a \u2018shock\u2019 freezing process. This Individual Quick Frozen (IQF) method has many advantages: flavor, color, aroma, and nutrients are optimally preserved, each pasta is frozen separately, making it easy to portion. Always with consistent quality.<\/p>\n<h4>Flexible to Use<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7205 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/smilingcook.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/henk-janssens.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"450\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith pasta from The Smiling Cook, I save a lot of time,\u201d says <strong>Henk Janssens<\/strong>, owner of <a href=\"https:\/\/foodathome.be\/\">Culinary Catering Food@Home<\/a> in Wondelgem. \u201cUsually, I place the frozen pasta in the steamer for 2 minutes. This is super fast. I don\u2019t waste time cooking, draining, and cooling. The pasta can be used straight from the steamer for a cold dish,\u201d Henk continues. \u201cMaking pasta \u00e0 la minute is also very easy and quick with this method.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut one of the most important advantages of frozen fresh pasta is that it absorbs little to no sauce,\u201d says Henk. \u201cYou can store the pasta with sauce in the refrigerator for a few days, and the product retains its quality. If you do that with cooked dry pasta, you\u2019ll need to add a liter of sauce after just one day,\u201d Henk laughs. \u201cThese costs are often overlooked when choosing between fresh and dry pasta.\u201d<\/p>\n<h4><strong><em>\u201cFrozen fresh pasta absorbs very little sauce. A cost often forgotten with dry pasta.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n<h4><strong>COMBINE WITH READY-TO-USE SAUCES<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Combine a short pasta with one of our sauces, like a neutral Napolitana tomato sauce or an oriental variant like Thai Curry, and instantly elevate your pasta salad. All sauces from The Smiling Cook are ready to use and can be mixed directly with the pasta without heating. With a long shelf life of 18 or 24 months at room temperature, you always have a quality sauce at hand. This reduces food waste and again saves costs for the horeca entrepreneur.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>FRESH AND HOMEMADE<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>By smartly combining and experimenting, you can, as a chef, create dishes that are quick and efficient, yet delicious and healthy. You showcase your craftsmanship, offer a varied menu, and save time. Your guests have more choices and are satisfied.
