FIX UP A DELICIOUS LUNCH WITH THESE LEFTOVER PASTA RECIPES
Pro Tip: If you have leftover pasta sauce, no worries! Add it to a freezer bag, get all the air out, and freeze it until the next time you need it. Trust us, you don't want to be left with a sticky, clumpy mess of pasta to deal with later! Put it in an airtight food storage container in your fridge to use later in the week. Once you've gotten all the pasta you need for your current meal, add butter or olive oil to your warm pasta to keep it from sticking. (And if you've already added sauce to your pasta, no worries! We have some great ideas for you below.) We suggest only adding sauce to your freshly-made pasta in an amount that you'll eat at that meal. The best way to get a brand-spankin' new meal out of your leftover pasta is to leave it plain, so you can fix it up however you want. Then, pull that pasta back out and reintroduce it with one of our yummy and creative suggestions. It's like brand new! Ready to learn how?
