Notes
This sauce can be made and used for a variety of meal or as a dipping sauce.
Store: This sauce and pasta can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.
Reheat: Since it is made out of butter is will solidify, just add back into a small saucepan to reheat. It can also be warmed in the microwave.
Freeze: This sauce does not freeze well. It's very quick and easy to make so I would recommend making it fresh.
