Notes
To Store
- Let it Cool: Before storing, allow the pasta to cool to room temperature. Be careful not to leave it out for more than 2 hours to prevent bacterial growth.
- Air-Tight Container: This helps to preserve its freshness.
- Refrigerate Promptly: This pasta should be good for 3-4 days when stored properly in the fridge.
- Keep Garnishes Separate: If possible, store any fresh garnishes like chopped basil or diced tomatoes separately and add them after reheating to maintain their freshness and texture.
- Reheating Tip: Reheat it gently on the stove over medium heat, adding a splash of water or cream to loosen things up if needed.
