Yup! Although the Spagetti itself can get a little limp, you can work
with it if you use a fatter noodle to start with (Think of a decent
brand Linguini). It still works with a regular 'Joe-Shmo-brand'
spagetti as long as not the newer 'instant' type.

The newer 'instant types' are designed for microwave use or baking
where you put then in raw with a bit of hot liquid then bake or MW it.
They aren't very good and turn to slush really easy. They definately
do not freeze in a dish well for later eating.

Found out the hard way when I got some on sale by accident then looked
closer at the package directions. Yucky stuff.
