Thank you.
Of course it's no cause for panic but, since it's added to keep the cheese from clumping due to moisture we it's not likely gonna be nice, moist, soft harmless plant material. Why would you want that in your cheese?
Which has more sodium? The real deal or the canned? That's a real concern if you're watching your sodium..
Fortunately I'm not..
I buy both.. The real deal for myself and shake for my husband which he prefers. .
Didn't read the article...but didn't need to. The first time I tasted Parmesan Reggiano my eyes were opened. I never bought the stuff in the green can again.
This recipe called for 1 lb. pasta, 2 cups heavy cream, 1 1/2 cups grated P-R, and 1 stick butter. I used garlic salt & fresh ground pepper.
Just a note but real Fettuccini Alfredo is made from a bechamel sauce and is a basic "white sauce" which you can control the amount of Parmesan as you make it.

The amount of Heavy cream & butter in your recipe is beyond "UnGodly" and not healthy ! Try making a bechamel sauce first and it is not difficult.
Add the cheese after the bechamel sauce is made since you can control the taste.
Good luck !
Thank you.
I am not worried about it being healthy, I want it to taste good. I'm alive, so I'm going to live. And I have health insurance
