Notes
Tips and Tricks:
- Adjust the consistency: If you find the sauce too thick, add a little extra milk, a splash at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
- Keep it warm: If you’re not serving the pasta immediately, keep the sauce warm on low heat, stirring occasionally, to keep it creamy.
- Make ahead: You can prepare the sauce in advance and store it in the fridge for a day or two. Just reheat it gently before tossing with pasta.
Recipe Storage
- Refrigerator Storage: Store leftover sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
- Freezer Storage: Allow the sauce to cool completely, then store it in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
- Reheating Instructions: Reheat the sauce gently on the stove over low heat, stirring occasionally, and add a splash of milk if it’s too thick.
