Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Reheat on the stovetop over low heat with a splash of milk or cream to maintain the sauce’s creaminess.

Avoid overheating to prevent the cheese from separating.

For best taste and texture, enjoy fresh.
