Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of water or broth to restore moisture.
Substitutions: You can swap the white wine with vegetable broth or chicken broth. Feel free to use other seasonal vegetables like broccoli florets, zucchini, or cherry tomatoes.
Tip: For extra richness, you can add a tablespoon of butter when tossing the pasta. Ensure the vegetables are cut into uniform sizes for even cooking.
