Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of milk or cream to loosen the sauce. Microwave in short intervals, stirring between each, to maintain a creamy consistency. Avoid overheating to prevent the sauce from separating.
