Keep the good going

For now. And for later.

Make it ahead

Noodles can be boiled ahead of time and tossed in a little oil to prevent sticking. The sauce can be mixed and stored for up to a week.

Store & enjoy

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat in a microwave or a pan with a splash of water to loosen the noodles. Add a splash of water before reheating to restore the sauce's silkiness.
