5 Must-Make Parmesan Cheese Recipes

October 7, 2011

Parmesan cheese is one of those ingredients that makes everything taste better.  If you can find it, I recommend buying the good stuff, Parmigiano-Reggiano from Parma. Italy.  Its salty and nutty flavor is far superior to domestic brands. With grated cheese in hand, make one of these delicious recipes.

Lemon Parmesan Vinaigrette
A zesty vinaigrette that pairs well with just about any salad.

Roasted Garlic, Butternut Squash, and Parmesan Soup
A entire cup of Parmesan cheese is blended into the soup that adds a rich and nutty flavor.

This recipe stuffs the chicken with asparagus spears but feel free to use any seasonal vegetable.

Tomato Frittata with Basil and Parmesan Cheese
This recipe is a great way to use the last of the summer tomatoes.

Rapini with Parmesan Cream Sauce
Any bitter green would be delicious in this recipe.
