Uncooked lasagna sheets are a versatile pantry staple, perfect for creating classic baked pasta dishes. Proper storage ensures their quality and prevents spoilage, allowing you to craft delicious meals anytime.

Storage Time

Unopened: Up to 2 years in pantry. Opened, uncooked: 1-2 months in pantry. Cooked, refrigerated: 3-4 days. Cooked, frozen: 2-3 months.

Temperature

Store uncooked sheets in a cool, dry place (15-20°C). Refrigerate cooked lasagna dishes at 0-4°C.

Freezing

Uncooked lasagna sheets can be frozen to extend their shelf life, though texture may slightly alter upon thawing. For best results, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil or place in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before use. Cooked lasagna dishes freeze exceptionally well; ensure they are cooled completely before wrapping securely and freezing. Reheat directly from frozen or after thawing in the refrigerator.

Signs of Spoilage

• Visible mold growth on the surface.
• An off, musty, or rancid odor.
• A sticky or slimy texture on uncooked sheets.
