Preparation

Note from Ricardo

The infusion of the parmesan rind that can’t be grated, is a classic Italian way to flavour sauces. Alternatively, you can add about 30 ml (2 tablespoons) of grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese into the sauce at the last moment. You can also crumble triple cream cheese to garnish each plate (about 75 g of cheese for 6 servings).
