If you make and bake ahead of time for a Superbowl party, will it still be good? I have to drive about 40 minutes. I was thinking they could warm it in the microwave as they eat it. I don’t want the pasta to get soggy or dried out. Tks!

What adobo do you use? I found one that is a rub no pepper and one with pepper that is more like a jelly.

Is the adobo a seasoning spice or a liquid?
