Storage and Reheating Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave with a splash of milk or cream to maintain the sauce’s texture. Avoid overheating to prevent the sauce from separating. For best results, do not freeze as the creamy sauce may change texture.
