I fricking love Parmesan cheese... I used to eat it out of my hand straight from the shaker as a young man.

Anyone have any good recipes that focus around Parmesan cheese?

I want to make this Parmesan panna cotta stuffed ravioli I saw on iron chef. The panna cotta melts inside the ravioli when cooked making a Parmesan cream that oozes out

These days I regularly have a big block of parmesan

I like to grate it over roasted vegetables

Can't go wrong with an alfredo sauce of course

Sometimes I'll have eggs for dinner and I'll top my eggs with parm and some herbs and black pepper

Goes great grated over french fries

Sometimes I'll cut big slices of it and throw it in the oven to melt with the roasted vegetables instead of grating after

Grate is pretty fine (not powder, just small pieces), make flat piles on a cookie sheet about the size of a small cookie/chip. Put in 375 degree oven for 5-6 minutes. The cheese melts just enough to bind together, then when it cools, it becomes kind of crispy. Use marinara or pesto as a dipping sauce. If you use parchment paper on the cookie sheet then there's no cleanup.

Sometimes I add a little garlic powder and parmesan cheese to eggs before scrambling them. If you love parmesan you would surely like romano cheese too.

If you ate it out of a shaker, then you have never had parmesan. Go to Whole Foods and ask if they have any Reggiano.

I get the best reggiano I can find and either just eat it thin cut or use a carrot peeler to shave it onto my food (both usually). I love the 'salt' crystals in it. I really have no idea what it is, but I like it.

I like to use a potato peeler and put big strips of it on salad as well

Can't go wrong there

Do something similar to this, using good Italian sausage and mascarpone cheese, mixed with breadcrumbs and other aromatics before stuffing into the mushrooms, topped with parm and baked.

Buy a cheap arse plastic mouli grater, it will tear up some parmesan into small strings of excellence.

I wasn't knocking your's. It actually sounds like a decent take on what I described.

You can get as much flavor out of 1/4 pound of the fresh stuff - grated judiciously over several different dishes - as you can with one $5 can of that nasty pregrated stuff.

Cue the, 'betcha you couldn't tell the difference in a blind taste test' crowd.

Point being, dollar for dollar, I contend it's not all that different.

does Parmesan ever go bad? Because I think I've had my block for over a year and it still looks and tastes fine to me

WF is only place I can get decent cheese. I wish there were more deli's/specialty stores

Kroger only carries imitation shite or DeGiorno which is awful. And that is $5 too.
