Notes

Serve it steaming in shallow bowls with extra grated parmesan and a crack of fresh black pepper. Pair with a simple green salad, buttery garlic bread, or roasted vegetables for balance. Cool leftovers and refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days; reheat gently with a splash of milk or cream.
