The scent of Parmigiano-Reggiano can fill a room; especially when it is in the oven and toasting over a stuffed pepper. This 900 year old Italian cheese can be used as an ingredient in so many versatile recipes, or simply as the star on the plate, sprinkled over a fresh arugula salad.
We are excited to partner with Parmigiano Reggiano and bring you some simple home recipes that can easily incorporate the high qualities of the cheese. For one, we love how this cheese melts and so for this first recipe, we are making lean turkey meat stuffed inside red, green, and yellow peppers topped with a mountain of grated Parmigiano Reggiano.
