Techniques in Preparing Pasta before Plating
- Pasta is best if cooked and served immediately. Try to cook pasta upon order.
- If pasta is to be served immediately, just drain and do not rinse in cold water.
- If pasta is to be used cold in salad, it is ready to be incorporated in the recipe as soon as it has cooled.
- If pasta is to be held, toss gently with a small amount of oil to keep it from sticking.
- Measure portions into mounds on trays. Cover with plastic film and refrigerate until service time.
- To serve, place the desired number of portions in a china cap and immerse in simmering water to reheat. Drain, plate, and add sauce.

Learning Outcome 4 Store Starch and Cereal Dishes
FIFO (First In, First Out) in storing food is very important. Though it is a
long-time method in store-keeping where the first food stored should be the
first food to be out from the storage it is high time to make it a habit or put into
practice. Write the expiry date, date received and date of storage to the food
package and regularly check the expiration date.
How to Store Pasta Noodles
Pasta is stored in airtight containers.
Pasta noodles are usually sold dry at the grocery store, allowing you to
store them with other staples in your pantry. Dry noodles have a long storage
life when properly packaged. Improper storage causes the pasta to become
moist, which leads to mildew. Even without moisture, pasta can become stale
if it's not stored correctly. Proper storage ensures your pasta to always taste
its best.
1. Dry Pasta
- Remove the pasta from the store packaging if the noodles come in a box or other non-airtight container.
- Place the noodles in a sealable plastic bag or other container that closes tightly. For long noodles, such as spaghetti, use a tall plastic storage container.
- Seal the bag or screw the lid on tightly. Store the pasta in a cool, dry place. Dry pasta stores indefinitely, but should be used within two years to prevent loss of flavor. Store dried egg noodles for up to six months.
Dried pasta need not to be refrigerated. It can be stored on the shelf in
an airtight container in a dry area that is not exposed to extreme
temperature. Dried pasta can be stored indefinitely and still be safe to eat
but the USDA recommends storing dried pasta for no more than two years
to obtain the best quality. Some manufacturers will stamp their packages
with a "best if used by" date, which indicates that the flavor, color and
nutritional value may be affected if used beyond that date.
2. Cooked Pasta
- Pour the noodles into a colander. Allow as much moisture as possible to drain. Noodles left in standing water become overly soft and mushy.
- Sprinkle 1 tsp. salad oil over the noodles. Toss the pasta so the noodles are evenly coated in the oil. Salad oil prevents the pasta from sticking together.
- Place the pasta in a tight-sealed container. Store in the refrigerator for three to five days.
- Cooked pasta can be stored unsauced in an airtight container and refrigerated for 4 or 5 days. The sauce should be refrigerated separate from the pasta and can be stored for 6 or 7 days. This prevents the pasta from soaking up too much flavor and oil from the sauce, which causes the taste of the pasta to be drowned out. If the pasta is stored together with the sauce, it should be eaten within 1 or 2 days to limit the amount of sauce that is absorbed. If cooked pasta is not going to be used within the suggested time period, it should be frozen and then it can be stored for approximately 3 months. Frozen cooked pasta should be thawed in the refrigerator and not on the kitchen counter.
To store, cook the pasta as you normally would and then rinse with cold water
and allow it to drain well.
- Add a small amount of olive oil or butter to help prevent the pasta from clumping together while it is stored. Use only enough oil or butter to lightly coat the pasta.
2. To refrigerate, place the pasta in
an airtight plastic bag or an
airtight container and place in
the refrigerator. To freeze, place
in an airtight plastic freezer bag
and press out as much excess
air as possible and place in the
freezer.
3. If storing sauced pasta, eat
within 1 to 2 days to prevent it
from absorbing too much sauce.
When refrigerating or freezing cooked pasta, be sure it is stored in a
well-sealed container so that it does not absorb any odor.
Cooked lasagna and baked pasta dishes can be refrigerated or frozen
in the same manner as plain cooked pasta. The lasagna and
casseroles should be first cut into individual servings before placing
them in a sealed bag or container. This will make it easier when
reheating.
If you have an entire
lasagna or pasta dish to
refrigerate or freeze, it can
be left in the baking dish
and tightly covered before
storing.
The lasagna and baked pasta dishes can be refrigerated for 3 or 4
days or they can be placed in a freezer and kept for approximately 3 months.
If frozen, the pasta dish should be thawed in the refrigerator and not on the
kitchen counter.
- Fresh pasta should ideally be used on the same day as manufactured. This is not always possible, but if it is used within the next two days it will give adequate results. After this it tends to crack through excess drying. It must be stored, keep it well-covered in the fridge, to minimize the risk of this happening. Frozen filled pastas will keep for up to three months if held at -18oC or lower.
- Fresh pasta can be stored in the refrigerator for 2 or 3 days. If the pasta
will not be used within that time, it can be frozen and stored in the freezer
for 2 to 3 months. Homemade pasta can be stored in the refrigerator for 1
or 2 days or frozen for 2 to 3 months. Homemade pasta can also be
allowed to dry thoroughly and then placed in a plastic bag or airtight
container. The length of time it will take to dry will vary depending on the
type of pasta and its size, shape and thickness. If dried completely, the
pasta can then be stored in a cool dry place for a couple of months. If you
are going to use the pasta on the same day as it is made, you can allow it
to dry on a clean towel for a couple of hours before you cook it unless it is
stuffed pasta. Stuffed pasta, such as ravioli, should be cooked within half
an hour, otherwise it will begin to discolor and become damp. If it is not going to be cooked
immediately it should be placed on
a lightly floured towel that is placed
on a baking sheet, sprinkled lightly
with flour, and then placed in the
freezer. Once they are frozen they
can be stored in a freezer proof
bag or wrap and then place it in the
freezer for 8 or 9 months.
4. Frozen pasta does not have to be thawed before it is cooked. Just
place the frozen pasta into boiling water and reheat it. It will need to
cook a little longer than unfrozen pasta.
Tips & Warnings
- Store pasta sauce separate from the noodles, otherwise the noodles will become mushy.
- You can freeze cooked pasta but it may be too soft once thawed. Use frozen pasta in baked dishes so the softer texture is not noticeable.
