Ingredients

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Notes
- Storing: Leftovers can be stored tightly covered in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
- Freezing: Because of the cream sauce, I can’t recommend freezing. It's very likely that the sauce would break and the result wouldn't be great.
- Reheating: Reheat in the microwave in one-minute increments, stirring in between to avoid drying out or burning the pasta.
