Can you freeze white clam sauce?

You can freeze white clam sauce, but it's best to freeze it before it's cooked.

Here's why:

* Texture: Freezing cooked clam sauce can affect the texture, making it thicker and less desirable after thawing.

* Flavor: The clams might become rubbery and the overall flavor might diminish after freezing.

1. Prepare the sauce: Make your white clam sauce according to your recipe, but do not cook it.

2. Portion: Divide the sauce into freezer-safe containers or bags, leaving some space for expansion.
