How to Reheat Pasta, the Giada De Laurentiis Way

We’ve all been there: You make a big batch of spaghetti or cacio e pepe or lasagna, toss several days’ worth of leftovers in the fridge, and then when it’s time to reheat it, you nuke it in the microwave for ease — only to be left with a bowl full of bland, sometimes crunchy pasta. Well, as it turns out, we’ve been reheating pasta all wrong.
