This document provides instructions for properly storing pasta noodles to maximize freshness and prevent spoilage. It discusses storing dry, cooked, fresh, and frozen pasta. Dry pasta can be stored in an airtight container in a cool, dry place and will last up to two years. Cooked pasta should be refrigerated or frozen in an airtight container and eaten within a few days. Fresh pasta is best used within a couple days but can be refrigerated up to 3 days or frozen for 2-3 months. Frozen pasta does not need to thaw before cooking.
