How long can I store it for? Can I freeze it?
Our pasta can be kept in the fridge for 3 day after delivery. So, if your pasta is delivered on a Monday it should be consumed by the end of Thursday.
Alternatively, freeze your pasta on the day of delivery for up to two months. Your recipe card will include details on how to defrost your dishes safely. As general guidelines, to prepare frozen fresh pasta, cook directly from frozen and allow slightly longer (usually around 1-2 minutes more) in the boiling water.

Can I cancel my order?
We require at least 48 hours notice in order to cancel or amend an order. Please call or WhatsApp us on +31 6 48 34 44 99 (Only English), and we can assist you further with this.

We do everything we can engage sustainably & responsibly with the world around us. Our boxes are made from 100% recyclable cardboard, and any plastic within your box can also go in the recycling bin.

Alternatively, contact our customer care team & we'll happily provide you a return label, free of charge, for you to send these back to us for reuse.

Where can I find a list of allergenes?
PASTA GAEL handles all 14 allergens prescribed in government guidelines. Whilst we have strict food safety measures & procedures in place, and take great care when preparing orders for our customers, we are, as a small business, unable to guarantee that there will be no traces of an allergen in your order. If you have any concerns about an allergy, please contact us at info@pastagael.com ahead of placing your order for further information.

How do I prepare it?
As long as you’ve got a pan & boiling water, you’re all set! It only takes 1-3 minutes to cook the fresh pasta. Your sauce only needs a couple of minutes to be heated through in a large pan until steaming. Combine the drained pasta with the heated sauce, then top with the garnish. There will always be a recipe card included in your box to provide more detailed instructions for each dish.
