FAQ

Can I use shredded Parmesan?

Yes, but freshly grated cheese melts smoother for a creamier sauce.

How do I keep the sauce from breaking?

Keep the heat low and stir constantly while melting the cheese.

Can I make this sauce ahead of time?

Yes, store it in the fridge and reheat gently, adding a bit of pasta water to loosen.

What can I substitute for heavy cream?

You can use half-and-half for a lighter version, though it won't be as rich.
