  • Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stove, adding a splash of cream or pasta water to loosen the sauce.
  • This dish is best enjoyed fresh, but it can be frozen for up to a month. Just remember to thaw it overnight in the fridge before reheating.
