Recipe Notes
Use high-quality Parmesan: Freshly grated Parmesan melts smoother and gives the sauce a richer, more authentic flavor. Avoid pre-shredded varieties which may contain anti-caking agents that prevent proper melting.
Adjust garlic to taste: The recipe calls for 3–5 tablespoons of garlic — go heavier if you’re a garlic lover, but reduce it slightly for a milder profile.
Pick your heat level: Use mild, medium, or hot green chiles depending on your spice preference. Roasted Hatch green chile is highly recommended for the best flavor.
Watch the heat when adding cheese: Lower the heat when stirring in the Parmesan to prevent it from curdling or turning grainy.
