RECIPE TIPS

1. If you have leftovers or want to save the recipe for later, store the pasta in the refrigerator in a n airtight container. We suggest that you do not store the pasta for more than 2 days (if you store it for longer, the pasta may start to lose quality).

2. If you prefer to use another type of cheese, you can replace the Parmesan cheese with cheddar or mozzarella cheese. We prefer to use Parmesan cheese because it makes the recipe creamier, but it all depends on your personal taste.
