Notes
Storage + Make Ahead Directions
Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container up to 4 days. Reheat on the stovetop or microwave with a splash of water or marinara to loosen the sauce. Freeze up to 2 months, though pasta may soften slightly. For best texture, freeze the sauce separately and add fresh pasta when serving. Make ahead by preparing the sauce up to 1 day in advance. Cook pasta fresh and toss before serving.Nutrition
