Video transcript

Reheat pasta with cheese by placing it in an oven-safe dish and covering it with foil. Heat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15–20 minutes. Stir halfway through to ensure even heating. Alternatively, use the microwave: place pasta in a microwave-safe container, add a splash of milk, cover loosely, and heat on medium power, stirring every 1–2 minutes until hot. This helps retain moisture and prevents the cheese from drying out.
