Notes

  • Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Freezing: You can freeze the dish, but it’s best to add the pasta fresh for the best texture.
  • Pairing: Serve with garlic bread and a side salad for a complete meal.
  • Adjusting Flavor: Feel free to add more garlic or herbs to customize the flavor to your liking.
  • Healthier Options: Consider using whole wheat pasta or reducing the amount of cheese for a lighter version.
