Notes

Use fresh grated parmesan cheese for the smoothest sauce. While pre-grated cheese will work, freshly grated parmesan melts instantly without leaving any grittiness.

Adjust salt. The amount of salt will depend on the type of stock used and your taste.

The sauce will thicken as soon as it cools. Keep in mind while letting the sauce simmer that it will thicken as it cools.
