Tip

Parmesan Pointers

When a recipe calls for shredded Parmesan cheese, use the cheese found in bags in the grocery store dairy section. Shredded Parmesan is often used in salads or soups where the shreds make a pretty garnish. If grated Parmesan is called for, use the finely grated cheese sold in containers with shaker/pourer tops. This type works well in lasagna and casseroles. (You can substitute either shredded or grated Parmesan in equal proportions in your favorite recipes.) If you decide to buy a chunk of Parmesan cheese and grate your own, be sure to use the finest section on your grating tool. You can also use a blender or food processor. Simply cut the cheese into 1-inch cubes and process 1 cup of cubes at a time on high until finely grated.

I made this recipe last night when my sister came to visit. The recipe was easy to follow and tasty! I substituted sea scallops for the crab and half and half for the cream. The sauce was a bit too thin so I needed to thicken the it with some cornstarch and half and half. Perhaps it would have been thicker with the heavy cream. My sister liked the meal so much she's going home with a copy of the recipe!
