Notes
This dish is best served right after it has been prepared. But will keep in the refrigerator and when reheated properly, can be enjoyed again.
- REFRIGERATE – Leftovers of this recipe can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- FREEZE – Because of the cream and cheese, I don’t recommend freezing. The sauce will get a grainy texture after being frozen and it isn’t that good.
- TO REHEAT – For best results, transfer leftovers to a pan and re-heat on your stove top. Add a splash of fresh cream to bring that sauce back to life!
