How long can I store this sauce in the fridge?

Keep the sauce in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Rewarm it over low heat or in the microwave, stirring as you go.

Is it okay to make this ahead of time?

Absolutely! Prep it a few hours early, then rewarm it gently before serving. If it gets thick, just stir in some cream to thin it out.

Where else can I use this sauce besides pizza?

It works great as a dip for breadsticks, a sauce for pasta, a topping for veggies, or even with chicken tenders.

Can I use store-bought grated Parmesan here?

Freshly grated Parmesan melts better and has a richer taste, but store-bought in a pinch is fine. Avoid the shelf-stable kind with anti-clumping additives.

My sauce came out too runny—what can I do?

Simmer it longer on low heat, stirring occasionally, until it thickens. Adding extra Parmesan also helps.

Can this sauce be made without dairy?

Traditional ingredients rely on dairy, but you can try vegan butter, coconut cream, and nutritional yeast instead. The flavor will be different but still tasty!
