• If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.

Storage and Serving

• Garnish with fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil for added flavor.

• Reheat the leftovers in a skillet with a splash of water or olive oil to prevent the pasta from drying out.
