Question 11

Tips for storing Sausage Pasta to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Always store pasta in a cool, dry place like your pantry or kitchen cabinet.

• For prepared and cooked pasta, always keep it in covered airtight containers or tightly sealed plastic bags.

• When storing cooked pasta, allow it to cool completely at room temperature before putting in the refrigerator. This prevents condensation that can make the pasta soggy.

• If freezing, try storing pasta in individual portions so you only defrost what you need. When defrosting, it's safer to thaw in the fridge rather than room temperature to avoid bacterial growth.

• Consider adding a touch of oil to your cooked pasta before storing to prevent it from clumping together.
