Notes
Storing and reheating
You can store the leftover pasta in the fridge up to 5 days. That means this is a great dish to meal prep as lunch or dinner for the whole week! To reheat, sprinkle some water overtop prior to microwaving (to avoid the pasta from drying out) and then microwave for 1-2 minutes. To make this pasta taste as good as new, add some freshly grated parmesan cheese overtop and then add some fresh basil overtop.Nutrition
