- Spread shredded parmesan in a thin layer on the bottom of a non-stick saucepan with a 6-7″ flat bottom and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until it becomes a pliable latticed sheet
- Remove from heat and cool. To expedite the cooling process, fill a large bowl with cold water and place the bottom of the pan (without submerging it) in the water to cool enough so you can remove the cheese sheet with a spatula in one piece
- Invert a salad bowl. Mold the cheese over the bowl using a paper towel, then place a second bowl on top to hold the shape until it completely cools and is ready to use. About 15 minutes in the fridge works well.
Serving:
- Place your parmesan bowl on a plate
- Fill with the pasta
- Garnish with a little shreddeded parmesan and a little grated black pepper
- Pair with that second glass of Chianti!
