Notes

May be made up to two or three days ahead. To reheat, simply sauté in a tablespoon or two of butter until hot. The prepared dish can also be microwaved for 2 to 3 minutes on high stirring once in the middle of cooking.
For a little extra flavor, you can sprinkle in some fresh-grated parmesan cheese too.
