Notes
This pasta is great leftover, however, it is much drier the next day. To reconstitute the pasta, simply stir in a little greek yogurt or butter and reason with salt. You could even top with a little extra lemon juice.
You could also store the sauce separately from the pasta. The possibilities are endless! ;)
