Question for those who store/freeze foods in...

When looking for an alfredo recipe the other night, I ran across this recipe. It would be great to have sauce mix already stored like the kind you buy from the store, but I'm curious how to store this with the cheese in it. Would this be the kind of mix I would need to freeze because of the cheese?

Ingredients:
1 cup instant nonfat dry milk
2 teaspoons grated romano or parmesan cheese
1/3 cup dried minced onion
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white pepper

Directions:

Measure all ingredients into a zip-top bag, seal and shake to combine.

To use mix, combine 1/4 cup noodle mix with 2 tablespoon melted butter and 1/4 cup milk. Toss with pasta.

Freeze or refridgerate in an airtight container.

You won't be able to leave it out without condensation, so measure quickly and return to fridge/freezer.

I think it would be safe to freeze.

Sounds like it'd be okay to freeze. That's probably the only cheese that would though! :)

I would say freeze b/c of the cheese and onion, unless you use dehydrated onion.

cheese gets gross when frozen...however, as a sauce, it should be okay...

I never freeze in advance, so no idea.

It should be fine in the freezer - most cheeses get crumbly if frozen, but because this is a sauce, that shouldn't matter. Sounds like a good staple to have on hand.

Yep, those ingredients would freeze pretty well. Parmesan cheese freezes very well. It's a hard cheese. I like this recipe. I've been looking around for a good alfredo sauce, too. Thanks.
