Storing Leftover Pasta

This pasta will store in an airtight container for up to three days in the fridge. You can use leftovers to meal prep for a meal or two down the line.

Due to the dairy in the sauce you will find if you freeze leftovers it can separete a bit as it thaws from being frozen. So, I don’t fully recommend freezing. If you do be prepared that it can change a bit in texture.

What If I Don’t Own A Dutch Oven

If you don’t own a dutch oven, no worries. You can use any pot that will hold the whole recipe. I just love my dutch oven and how it cooks and offers a nice even cooking.
