Chef's Notes
Treat your Pecorino Romano with absolute respect! Grating it finely ensures it melts into a silky emulsion rather than clumping into sad, rubbery lumps.
Pro Tip
If your sauce looks too thick while steaming, splash in an extra tablespoon of water. Never fear the splash, for it is the secret to silkiness!
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you dump the cheese into a pan that is blistering hot over direct flame, your Pecorino will instantly seize into a pathetic, greasy ball of sadness and ruin your evening.
