How long is...
 

An opened jar of pasta sauce good for in the fridge...

I have an open jar of tomato sauce and was wondering how long its good for... I am also thinking of opening an alfrado sauce and wondering how long that is good for as well...

thanks!

Tomato-based sauce would probably last longer than a cream-based Alfredo sauce. For a tomato-based sauce, I'd say a week or so. No guess on an Alfredo sauce, since I'm not wild about them and don't buy them.

Mmmm pasta sauce. Now I'm hungry.

a week? well in that case I better use the tomato sauce before I open the alfrado!

They're recommended you eat them in 7 days, but I usually eat them up to 14 days after I open them.

I'm paranoid. If I think I'll have something longer than 3 days, I put it in plastic containers and freeze it.

I never thought of freezing! that would work too!

well darn, I have some pasta sauce in my fridge from about a month ago and I was gonna make spaghetti tonight.. now I'm freaked out it's too old! haha

Alfredo sauce might not freeze well - separate upon thawing. I'd never use alfredo if I was trying to lose weight.
