Notes
Top Tips:
Use Freshly Grated Cheese: For the best flavor and texture, it's recommended to use freshly grated pecorino romano cheese instead of pre-grated cheese. This will give the sauce a smoother and creamier consistency.
Don't Overcook the Cauliflower Rice: When cooking cauliflower rice, it's important not to overcook it. Overcooking can result in a mushy texture, which can make the dish less enjoyable.
