Notes
- Don’t overcook the noodles: Keep an eye on them to avoid mushiness.
- Add cheese just before serving: This keeps it melty and delicious.
- Make it ahead: Cook everything but the pasta, then add noodles and cheese just before serving to keep the texture perfect.
- Store leftovers: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove
