Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3-4 days. If you want to keep it longer, pop it in the freezer for about 2-3 months. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of water or broth to revive the creamy texture. Enjoy with a side of garlic bread!
