Good to know.

Cook's tip

- Cook the pasta just until al dente to avoid it becoming mushy when mixed with the sauce.
- Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for faster cooking and tender meat.
- Stir the sauce continuously to prevent it from sticking to the pan and to ensure it stays smooth.

Storage & leftovers

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or broth if the sauce has thickened too much. This meal can also be frozen for up to 2 months; thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.
