Store tortellini

[Irish-Tech]

okay i did a quick search but couldnt find anything on storing tortollini's. anyone done this? If so how long have you stored it for?

thanks!

Good question,hope someone can answer that as I have some to bag also.

Pasta alone will last 30 years when canned. I just don't know about the cheese inside. It is dried so I'm guessing it will be ok.

I've never seen dried tortellini, so I'm not sure if I would take the risk to store the cheese. The only tortellini I've ever seen is in the frozen or refrigerated sections of the grocery store. Are you planning on dehydrating them? Have you seen someone do this? I'd be interested to hear.

TPM, you can buy the dried tortellini in a variety of styles - Bertoli brand I think. I have many packs stashed away and use them periodically. They seem to be fine so far after 3-4 years of storage in a glass jar on the pantry shelf.

Thanks goatlady! I'll have to be on the lookout for some.

You can find them in the same area as the spaghetti. Thanks goat lady, I'm glad to hear t
You have kept them a few years.

Do be aware they cook up "al dente," still have some texture to them, but I think that's just the shape/thicknesss of the pasta.

They have some at Aldi's but the one I tried was not very good. Ended up giving it to the dogs. Only one liked it. She'll eat anything though.
