Parmesan cheese recipes
We’re not talking about a polite grating here, we’re talking proper amounts of parmesan, where the cheese is an unmissable part of a recipe, or used as a main ingredient itself. Either way, these recipes provide ideas to use up lots.
And it’s probably a more versatile cheese than you realise, bringing its tang to everything from dips to pastry crusts, as well as pastas and pestos. You could even try making parmesan tacos.
