Storage Instructions
To store homemade stuffed shells, first allow them to cool completely after cooking. Transfer to an airtight container or cover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap or aluminum foil. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3-5 days.
If freezing, you can freeze them before or after baking:
- Uncooked shells: Assemble them with sauce in a baking dish but don’t bake them. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil or use a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 2-3 months.
- Cooked shells: Let them cool, then wrap or store in a freezer-safe container. Freeze for up to 2-3 months.
When ready to enjoy, thaw frozen shells in the refrigerator overnight and bake at 350°F (175°C) until heated through. Bake for 25-30 minutes for cooked shells, or 45 minutes to 1 hour for uncooked frozen shells.
