I keep it in the freezer and it was outstanding with the meatballs. Please don't wipe out the pan. the oil, in which the meatballs were cooked, is what flavors the tomatoes and makes the sauce! Heat a large saucepan over a medium heat and add the olive oil. Spaghetti and Meatballs--nearly everyone's favorite "Italian" dish--is truly international fare. To freeze separately, put sauce in freezer bags, but open-freeze the uncooked meatballs on a tray, then wrap in cling film once hard.
