To prepare, simply heat the sauce gently in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until it is warm and smooth. Avoid boiling, as this can cause the sauce to separate or become too thick. Once heated, pour it over your favorite cooked pasta, such as fettuccine or linguine. You can also add cooked chicken, shrimp, or vegetables to the sauce as it heats to create a complete meal. For a richer flavor, stir in a little extra grated Parmesan cheese just before serving.
