• You can also add cooked chicken or shrimp to the Vesuvio pasta for added protein.

Storage and Serving

• Vesuvio pasta is best served immediately while it is still hot and fresh.
• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the pasta in a skillet with a splash of water or olive oil to prevent it from drying out.
