    How to Store and Reheat Pasta

    Store any of these easy pasta recipes in an airtight container (once cooled to room temperature) and place in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Most of these are also freezer-friendly so you can store them for up to 3 months in the freezer!

    For any stovetop pasta, you can reheat again over the stove on medium-low heat until warmed through. You may have to add a splash of water as the sauce will have likely thickened up when stored in the refrigerator. For casserole-type pastas like lasagna and pasta bakes, you can also reheat over the stove, or you can reheat in the oven at 300F for 10-15 minutes, or air fryer for 5-10 minutes, until fully warmed through. Refer to the specific recipe post for full storing and reheating instructions.
