Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of milk or cream to maintain the sauce’s creamy texture. This dish can be frozen for up to 1 month, though the sauce may slightly change consistency upon reheating.
