How to properly store homemade pasta

At first, it is important to decide how long the paste will need to be stored. Coming out of this, it will be easier to choose the right method of saving the product.

If you plan to cook the pasta for 3-5 days, then it can be stored slightly dried in a dry, airtight container in a refrigerator.

Most often, paste for long-term storage is taken dry. There are special dryers for this, but instead you can use a clothes dryer, covering it with a paper towel or a vertical kitchen board.

Most housewives believe that it is better to dry the pasta folded into a nest. It takes longer to dry in this form, but storing it in a glass jar is much more convenient. Also as a container (it must be absolutely dry!) a tray that closes hermetically may be suitable. This paste will remain suitable for a long time. a whole month.

Much longer up to six months you can save pasta in frozen. Before putting it in the freezer, it needs to be dried a little (about half an hour).

Then the pasta needs to be laid out vertically, for example, on a cutting board sprinkled with flour, and placed in the freezer. When it freezes a little, it needs to be placed in a container or sealed bag (do not compact it).To make it easier to navigate the shelf life of homemade pasta, you need to make an inscription on the packaging with the date of freezing.

Using these methods, you can prepare all types of pasta (lasagne sheets, shells, spirals, etc.). All of them allow you to preserve the quality of the product for a certain period.
