Preservation Infos

fridge : 2-3 days (store in an airtight container,reheat gently on the stove or microwave, adding water or broth as the pasta will absorb liquid), freezer : 1 month (best to freeze before adding the pastina, as pasta texture degrades after freezing and thawing,thaw in fridge overnight and reheat thoroughly before serving)
