Notes
- Real Parmesan is key to making this foolproof with a restaurant quality depth of flavour. Serve with some homemade or artisanal bread, a simple salad with vinaigrette and chilled white wine such as a lightly oaked chardonnay or pinot gris or for a lighter wine, choose a sauvignon blanc which goes well with almost all seafood.
