To use, simply heat the sauce in a saucepan over medium heat until it is warm. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. You can also add it directly to cooked pasta and toss to coat. For baked dishes, pour the heated sauce over your assembled ingredients before baking. It can be enhanced with additional herbs or spices if desired, but it is flavorful on its own.

Compared to other pasta sauces, this Parmigiana version emphasizes a distinct cheesy flavor profile, often from Parmesan or similar hard cheeses, which adds a salty and nutty depth. It typically has a thicker consistency than a marinara, making it cling better to pasta.
