For a more involved preparation, it can be gently warmed and stirred into hot pasta dishes, where its creaminess will create a luxurious sauce. It also melts beautifully when baked, making it a wonderful addition to tarts or as a topping for roasted vegetables. Its strong flavor means a little goes a long way in enhancing other ingredients.
