Italian sauce

Description

The sauce takes just a few minutes to prepare. Not everyone always adds nutmeg to this sauce, but I think it's absolutely essential here. Parmesan is also a commonly used ingredient in Italian cuisine. Can it be replaced with another cheese? Of course, it can. The sauce will lose its distinctive touch, but it will still be incredibly delicious :) Serve it chilled or at room temperature.
