Storage and Reheating Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave with a splash of milk or cream to restore the creamy texture.
Avoid overheating, as the cheese sauce can thicken too much.
This pasta is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers still make a delicious quick meal.
