Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

To freeze, allow the pasta and chicken to cool completely and freeze in portions for up to 2 months.

Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave with a splash of cream or milk to maintain the creamy texture of the sauce.
