Notes
- Store: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
- Freeze: Transfer leftovers into an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in a microwave or in a small pot, simmering on low while covered.
- Tomatoes: Cherry tomatoes or cut up large tomatoes will work in a pinch. I prefer whole small tomatoes though.
