Freezes well. The best way is to cook it fully and then re-heat in a microwave or covered in the oven.
Nice recipe. Would like to know if this will freeze well?
Many thanks
Yes it will freeze. Best way is to cook it fully and then re-heat in a microwave or covered in the oven.
Had this recipe tonight, really tasty. Added some streaky bacon and mushrooms that were lurking in the fridge. Will make another pie and freeze. Thanks for the recipe.

I tried this last night as I want to eat more veg but cannot stand tomatoes..but mixed in with other tastes..just delicious..really tasty and filling and will certainly be doing this again..soon!
I make this pie every year, I always end up with a glut of courgettes, I make a few batches and freeze in small foil disehes enough for two, they are a great standby for winter months. We love it.
