Notes
Serve the pasta in warm bowls or plates. You can sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese on top for added flavor. A side salad or some garlic bread pairs well with this dish for a complete meal. To store leftovers, let the pasta cool completely, then transfer it to an airtight container. You can keep it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm it in a skillet over low heat or microwave it until heated through.
