🧀 Always grate Parmesan fresh from a block; pre-shredded cheese contains anti-caking agents that can make the sauce grainy.
🔥 Keep the cream at a gentle simmer after adding it; boiling vigorously can cause the sauce to curdle or separate.
🥡 Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days and reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of milk or broth to restore the sauce.
