I would use them.

If they're not OK (and I'm sure they are) there is an unmissable fusty smell from any cereal-based food that is past it.
Trust your nose.
And 2 months out of date is nothing!

Hi,

they will be fine. Ive used lasagne sheets that were about 8 months out of date before and im still standing!

I would use them, even if they were a year out of date as long as they didn't look or smell off.

I would use them too

Use them! I can't think of much in my kitchen that ISN'T two months out of date!

I imagine the worst that will happen is that they might not soften as much as usual. I never look at the date on dried pasta.

:wave:
I was using up some of the stuff in my cupboards & had some Lasagne sheets so I started making the lasagne. Then I realised that the sheets were well out of date. Does pasta really go out of date?

P.S. I did use them & I'm still alive

If dried pasta looks ok, smells ok, the chances are it's fine. Out of interest, how far out of date were they?

i think on pasta it is a best before date rather than a use by date. imo a best before is only a guideline. so i never really take much notice. unless the food item does look odd. but a use by date needs to be taken more notice of.
