can be improved with a salty, aged, umami-packed Parmigiano cheese rind. It’s best to add the rind in the beginning stages of cooking, because the longer it’s in the sauce the more flavor will be infused. Plus, you’ll be left with a gooey cheese rind that you can scoop into your bowl of pasta.

In fact, there should really be no more than ⅛” to ¼” cheese left on the rind, or these will turn out too tough to bite into.
