Leftovers/storage
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. Since this is a creamy pasta dish, it may thicken as it sits, so when reheating just add a splash of milk or broth and give it a stir to bring it back to a smooth consistency. It reheats really well and still tastes just as good.
