Notes

Serving Tips:

  • Serve Italian Drunken Noodles hot, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh chopped parsley for an extra burst of flavor.
  • Pair with a crisp green salad or garlic bread to complete the meal.
  • Enjoy alongside a glass of your favorite white wine for a delightful dining experience.

Storage Tips:

  • Store any leftover Italian Drunken Noodles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of broth or water to restore moisture.
  • Note that the noodles may absorb more sauce upon storage; adjust consistency with additional tomato sauce or broth as needed.

Make-Ahead Tip:

  • To save time, prepare the sauce and cook the noodles separately. Combine just before serving to maintain optimal texture and flavor.

Pro Tip:

  • For a flavor boost, consider adding a touch of red pepper flakes or fresh basil before serving to customize the dish to your taste preferences.
