Can you reheat pasta with cream sauce?

Anytime I reheat pasta with a cream sauce, the sauce literally turns into a huge puddle of oil. I typically reheat this kind of thing in a pan on the stove. Whether I go low and slow or hot and fast, I end up with a bowl full of oil and congealed gunk... even if I add more cream/milk/whatever it doesn't come out right.

Why does my alfredo sauce separate when reheated?
