To use, simply heat the sauce gently in a saucepan over medium heat until warmed through. Avoid boiling, as this can alter the texture. You can stir it directly into cooked pasta, pour it over pan-seared chicken or fish, or toss it with steamed or roasted vegetables. For a richer flavor, you can simmer it with a splash of cream or milk. It can also be used as a base for more complex sauces by adding other ingredients like sautéed garlic or herbs.

How to keep the rest
After opening, refrigerate any unused portion in a tightly sealed container. It is best to consume the remaining sauce within a few days to maintain its freshness and quality. Proper storage ensures the sauce remains palatable for future use.
