canning macaroni dishes.

Can we can dishes like commercial companies do.
I am an experienced canner but I thought you might know and it would save me the time experimenting with this.

I'm thinking things like spaghetti, ravioli, Lasagna, mac and cheese, etc.

Hi Irena

I don't believe it would work to can anything with a pasta product. You'd have to pressure can it because of your other ingredients and the pasta would turn to mush.

How do the commercial canners do it?

Irena ,

I did a search and contacted my local extension service to see if they had any ideas. But no luck.

I really don't know how they do it. Maybe they have a special pasta that they use or maybe they start with the pasta uncooked. When I asked my local extension they came up with the same ideas.

Unfortunately we are both guessing.

The only information I can find is that it should not be done.

Sorry I am not of more help.
