Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, add a splash of water or broth to loosen the pasta. For longer storage, freeze for up to 1 month, thawing in the fridge overnight before reheating. Consider adding a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese for added flavor.
