  • Notes:

    Buy the really big shreds of parmesan, or grate it on the biggest holes in your grater. It tastes better when the cheese doesn't get completely incorporated into the mixture. Also, you can use dry parsley, but it just won't be the same. Buy a bunch or grow some for this recipe, it'll be worth it.
