Notes
Fridge: Store leftover cheeseburger pasta in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freezer: If you want to freeze some leftovers for another time, I recommend freezing in individual portions in airtight containers that you can easily thaw and reheat. The pasta probably won't have the same texture and might be a little soft after freezing, but it is still a good way to grab a quick lunch for the workday!
Reheat covered on the stovetop or in the microwave. Add a little extra broth or water so the pasta doesn't dry out while reheating.
