Recipe Notes
Creamy Garlic Rose Pasta Storage Instructions
Store the pasta in the fridge for up to 4 days and in the freezer for up to 4 months, both held in an airtight container. I will note that because it’s cream-based pasta, it isn’t recommended to freeze it as the sauce can split upon reheating. Only freeze as a last resort if you can’t eat it all when fresh.Â
Creamy Garlic Rose Pasta Reheating Instructions
To reheat, place the pasta into a large pan over medium heat. Heat it gently for 10 minutes, adding a splash of cream to freshen it up. Alternatively, place it into a microwave, add a splash of cream and heat in bursts until hot throughout.Â
