    Great tip reserving some pasta cooking water, to add moisture to the sauce if needed! This looks deliciously creamy!

    1. Giangi Townsend says:

      Thank you. Amazing how much flavor it brings to the dish as it contains all the pasta natural starch.
      Nothing like creamy pasta to warm your heart.

    This sounds amazing & can’t wait to try! Thank you for the extra tips too. I learned about 3 new things from this post including how to reheat without a microwave… sad I’ve never even given that thought. I’m sure it helps keep the integrity of the food too.
