• If the sauce is too thick, add a splash more beef broth or pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave, adding a little beef broth or water if needed to loosen the sauce.
