Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Salsa di Parmigiano
  1. Gather your ingredients: aged Parmigiano-Reggiano, extra-virgin olive oil, garlic, and your choice of fresh or dried herbs. In a food processor, combine about one cup of grated Parmigiano-Reggiano with half a cup of olive oil, 2 cloves of garlic, and a handful of herbs.
  2. Pulse the mixture in the food processor until it reaches a creamy, smooth consistency. Stop halfway to scrape down the sides of the bowl for even blending.
  3. Taste your creation! Gradually add salt to enhance flavors, starting with about half a teaspoon, and pulse briefly to mix in.
  4. Transfer the salsa into a serving dish or jar, and let it sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
  5. Serve your Salsa di Parmigiano with warm bread, crackers, or as a topping for grilled meats and pasta.
