To prepare, gently heat the sauce in a saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. Avoid boiling, as this can alter the texture and flavor. You can also add a splash of milk or cream to thin it if desired, or stir in extra Parmesan cheese for a more intense flavor. It is excellent tossed with cooked pasta, or used as a base for casseroles and gratins. For a richer dish, consider adding cooked chicken, shrimp, or sautéed mushrooms.
