Italian Drunken Noodles – Don’t LOSE This Recipe!

Serving: These Italian Drunken Noodles are perfect on their own, but they pair wonderfully with a side of garlic bread or a simple green salad.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or broth to loosen the sauce.
Freezing: To freeze, place the cooled noodles in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 2 months. When ready to eat, reheat on the stove and add a little extra cream or broth to restore the sauce’s texture.
Variants:

Add Protein: For a heartier meal, add grilled chicken, shrimp, or even Italian sausage to the dish.
Vegetarian Option: This recipe is already vegetarian, but you can add extra vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach for added texture and flavor.
Non-Alcoholic Version: Substitute the white wine with vegetable broth for a non-alcoholic version that still maintains depth of flavor.
