Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately, with additional Parmesan cheese on top, if desired. (2 minutes)
For a richer flavor, use roasted garlic instead of fresh.
Fresh basil adds a wonderful aroma and taste – try adding a handful of chopped basil along with the parsley.
Consider adding a protein like grilled chicken or shrimp for a more substantial meal.
To make it vegetarian, consider adding some sauteed spinach or zucchini.

May 12, 2024I didn't have sun-dried tomatoes, so I used some fresh cherry tomatoes instead. It was still delicious!
