- Consume the pasta right after cooking for optimal freshness and flavor.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to four days; do not freeze.
- When reheating, add a small amount of water and heat gently while stirring to rejuvenate the sauce.
- Any pasta shape can be used, adjusting cooking time as needed, especially for fresh pasta which cooks faster.
- Adding some hot pasta water when mixing can help blend the cheese and sauce evenly.
