Stacking our freezer with ice cream, soup and all kinds of frozen products is nothing new. But did you know that the freezer can also be used creatively? With this tip by Elvea, you’ll grace your table with a delicious meal in no time! Prepare your own tomato sauce using your favourite Elvea products, then freeze it in an ice cube tray and close well with a freezer film or bag. Why an ice cube tray? This means you do not have to thaw large portions of tomato sauce, since you can prepare individual portions quickly and easily. The remaining sauce will no longer be condemned to the bin, but instead can be stored immediately in the freezer. An interesting tip for when you don’t have the time (or the desire) to cook, and a nice way to fight food waste!
