Storage & Reheating Tips
- Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheating: Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat with a splash of broth or cream to loosen the sauce. Microwave reheating works too, but stir halfway through for even heating.
- Note: The tortellini stays al dente when fresh, but will soften slightly as leftovers.
