For an even smoother sauce, consider using a fine-mesh sieve to strain it before serving. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is crucial for the best flavor and melting properties. Avoid using pre-shredded cheese. Fontina cheese adds a delightful nutty flavor and enhances the creaminess of the sauce. If unavailable, you can substitute with Gruyere or provolone. Adjust the amount of salt to your preference, keeping in mind that Parmesan cheese is already quite salty. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta. This sauce pairs wonderfully with fettuccine, linguine, or tagliatelle. Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or scallops for a complete and satisfying meal.
