How to Make Salsa Di Parmigiano

  1. Combine 2 cups grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper in the bowl of a food processor.
  2. With the food processor running, slowly drizzle in 2 tablespoons olive oil.
  3. Pulse for 10-15 seconds, or until the cheese is finely grated and the mixture is smooth but still slightly chunky. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  4. Transfer the Salsa di Parmigiano to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. (Can be stored for up to one week.)
  5. Bring to room temperature before serving. Enjoy!
