Notes

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it in the microwave or on the stove with a splash of water to keep it from drying out. Feel free to add veggies like bell peppers or corn for more color and nutrition. For a creamier texture, add in some cream cheese or shredded cheese after cooking. Variations include using ground turkey, chicken, or a vegetarian option with beans or lentils. Gluten-free pasta can also be used.
