Storage & Reheating: Store in the fridge for up to 4 days. Don't freeze. Reheat in 30-second microwave bursts, covered with a damp paper towel, until hot.
Cooking Tips:
- Start with 2 cups of broth and add more as needed.
- Boil the pasta on high. This helps cook down the excess liquid and achieve that perfectly creamy sauce. Lower the heat if you need to.
- Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking
