The pasta may be frozen for up to 2 weeks. Cooking. Cook fresh pasta noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water. (Use about 6 quarts of water for 1 pound of pasta.) Fresh pasta takes considerably less time to cook than dried, usually 1 to 3 minutes, so watch it carefully. To test, remove a noodle with tongs or a long-handled fork and take a bite.
Well since the noodles are already cook and you're just heating the sauce and melting the cheese I would bake @ 350 for 30-35 minutes and wait til the cheese is bubbly I only partially cook the noodles, and let it cook the rest of the way in the sauce to let it absorb as much sauce as possible. I do it on 425, covered, to basically continue cooking the noodles, for another 10 minutes. Then I uncover, sprinkle with cheese and bake for another 3-4 minutes. I think if you thoroughly boil the pasta first, and then let it sit in sauce for another 30 minutes, it will be WAY overcooked. I boil the noodles for like 5 minutes -- so a little harder than al dente. Then I bake it at 350 for about 30 minutes. After about 20 minutes, I add the cheese and bake the remaining 10 minutes. (Of course, sometimes it's more like 35-40 but that's because I usually have chicken breasts in there that need a couple of more minutes to get rid of the pink!) Without the chicken, you shouldn't need more than 30 minutes.
