Notes

The use of freshly grated Parmesan cheese is a game-changer in this dish; it not only melts beautifully, creating a creamy sauce, but also adds a depth of flavor that pre-grated cheese simply can't match. This cheese's unique flavor compounds with the richness of heavy cream, resulting in a luxurious texture that elevates the entire dish.
