Notes

Storage and Reheating

You can make this ahead if needed and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
To reheat:
  • warm gently in a pan over a medium-low heat until hot through
  • or microwave individual portions until piping hot
You may want to add a splash of water, milk or cream when reheating to loosen the sauce.
Because it contains cream, it’s definitely at its best fresh, but leftovers are still very good.
