Allow the dish to cool to room temperature before storing.
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
Make sure to keep the sauce and pasta together to preserve the flavors and moisture.
Freezing:
For longer storage, you can freeze the dish. First, let it cool completely.
Place the casserole in a freezer-safe container or cover it tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil to avoid freezer burn.
It can be frozen for up to 2-3 months.
Reheating:
Refrigerated leftovers: Reheat in a microwave, stirring occasionally, or in a skillet over low heat until warmed through. Add a splash of milk or cream if the sauce has thickened too much.
Frozen leftovers: To reheat from frozen, thaw overnight in the refrigerator or reheat directly from frozen in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-30 minutes, or until heated through.
Properly storing and reheating will help maintain the dish’s creamy texture and flavor!
Enjoy.
