Notes
Feel free to use your favorite tomato sauce or a homemade sauce that you might have in the freezer. You can use whatever pasta you like but I do think the bigger pastas work best. Store the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days. To reheat you can heat this up in the microwave or slowly in the oven. To freeze, let the pasta cool completely and then store in an airtight container or a large freezer friendly ziplock bag for up to 3 months. To thaw, leave in the fridge overnight.
