Question

Is the parmesan cheese supposed to melt in the sauce?

Community Answer

Yes. It's important to add it while the sauce is hot so it can melt and contribute to the creaminess of the sauce.

Question

I don't have heavy cream. Can I substitute milk?

Community Answer

Heavy whipping cream will give it more of a thickness than you will need for the sauce.

Question

Can you use grated Parmesan cheese instead of the fresh?

It should be fine to use grated Parmesan cheese in place of fresh Parmesan cheese. It may not have the same piquancy but it will still add lots of flavor and body to the sauce.
