    How To Store

    Leave the pasta to cool completely then pack it in an airtight container. Label, and store in the fridge for up to 3 days or store in the freezer for up to 6 months. If the pasta is not cooked in sauce, toss it in olive oil before storing. The olive oil or sauce helps prevent them from clumping/sticking together.

    How To Reheat Pasta

    Pasta can be reheated in the microwave, oven, air fryer, or on the stovetop.

    To reheat in the microwave, put it on a plate, sprinkle it with a tablespoon of water to prevent it from drying up, and heat it on high settings at 30 seconds intervals until it's warmed through.

    If reheating in the oven or air fryer, put in an oven-safe dish, sprinkle with water, and bake. Cheese can be added on top to be melted for a delicious pasta bake.
