  2. Thanks so much for this brilliant recipe. Made a smaller portion for my mom and myself last night, and instead of using as much salt in the cooking, I added a heap of grated Parmesan that melted in with the hot sauce – absolutely divine! It was so easy to make and we already had all the ingredients.
