NOTES

  • To Store. In the fridge, this recipe stays fresh for up to 3 days. While I'm not fond of freezing pasta because of potential texture changes upon thawing, it's still an option for leftovers, though not as ideal as fresh or reheated from the fridge.
  • This recipe is for 1 good sized serving or 2 smaller.
  • For easy meal prep, I like to use leftover rotisserie chicken or taco meat.
