How To Store Leftover Cooked Pasta

If the recipe calls for cool or cold pasta, such as in a casserole, pasta salad, or pasta frittata, use the pasta straight from the refrigerator. If you need the fresh pasta to be warm, you can reheat the pasta by dropping it into a pot of rapidly boiling water for 30 to 60 seconds, just until hot.

Cooked pasta can be kept in the fridge for 3 to 5 days. After that, it can lose its flavour and may start to grow mold. 

• Storage tips

• Store cooked pasta in an airtight container to prevent it from drying out or absorbing odors.

• If possible, store pasta and sauce separately.
