  1. dried pasta is really easy to store just put in an air tight container and leave it in the pantry. fresh pasta if you dont intend to use up in a couple of days can be frozen and defrosted at a later date.

  3. Things You’ll Need:

    Dried Pasta

    Storage containers (food grade plastic buckets with gasketed lids, foil pouches, canning jars with lids)

    Dry ice (if buckets are used)

    Impulse pouch sealer (if foil pouches are used)

    Oxygen absorber packets

    Step1

    Prepare storage containers. Make sure all inner surfaces are clean and dry. If you are using canning jars or foil pouches, place one oxygen absorbing packet into each container. If using plastic buckets, place one ounce of dry ice per gallon capacity in the bottom of the bucket.

    Step2

    Fill containers with pasta. Fill foil pouches to 80% of volume. Fill jars to 95% volume. Fill buckets to within one inch of the top (on top of the dry ice).

    Step3

    Seal containers. For foil pouches, use an impulse heat sealer. Make sure the seal is tight. A second seal can be applied if desired. For jars, make sure the gasket on the lid is in good condition. Close the jar tightly. For plastic buckets, place the lid on top but do not completely close it until the dry ice has dissipated (sublimed). When the bottom of the bucket begins to feel warmer, place the lid on tightly. If it begins to bulge after a few minutes, open slightly to release the pressure.

    Step4

    Store containers. All food storage should be placed in a cool, dark, and dry location preferably off the floor and away from rodents. Rubbermaid or similar totes are excellent for storing foil pouches.

    Tips & Warnings:

    Oxygen absorber packets should be kept in a sealed container until they are ready to be used. Only remove as many as you will use in 20 to 30 minutes.



    Use caution when storing plastic buckets. Do not stack them more than three high as the weight can damage the lower containers.

  4. I keep my dried pasta in glass or plastic containers.  Keeps for months.  Fresh should be used within a day or two.

  5. Dried pasta is easy to store. Fresh pasta doesn't keep well even if you freeze it.

    Freeze it loose and put into freezer bags or air-tight containers. Boil it frozen, do not defrost first. Use within a couple of weeks.
