| Throw them in your spaghetti sauce. They don't really melt away but flavor the sauce and then you can fish out and toss. |
|
| Or in soups. |

| If you can cut it up into little strips before you add it to pasta sauce or soups, it will dissolve more easily. I have a Kitchenaid cheese grater attachment that will grate hard Parmesan rind, aged three years. It takes a while, but eventually I can get almost all of it grated and then used on pasta or whatever. Lars |

| I also use the rinds for spaghetti sauce. I asked the cheese guy at Fresh Market what he did with them; he said they threw them way. I asked him to save them for me because I used them in my sauce. Next thing I knew I saw them in the cheese case for sale. Been doing that for a long time--my grandpa saved them from his wheels of Parmesan from his Italian grocery store to give to grandma for the weekly sauce. |

| There's a ton of cheese on that rind! Get out your microplane and work it.... May be easier to handle cut into smaller pieces. |
|
| I put them in stews and soups for flavor. I throw them in the freezer to store until I need one Linda |
|
| I also toss mine into the soup pot, Elery uses it when making red sauces for pasta. Annie |
|
| Soups and stock, like everyone else. It is great in pasta e fagioli. Cheryl |
|
| I read this article a while back and have ever since saved the rind for toast and soup. |

| This rind is a real prize. Sauce never tastes as good without it. I put a little parm in tomato sauce but nothing compares to the rind simmered in the sauce. Soups too, especially any kind of veggie soup or bean soups. But, I love to chew on it and eat it after it's been simmered to soft. Yummmmy.... Oh, I meant to say it's terrible and you should just send it to me to dispose of it, |

| I always toss a piece of Parm rind into the pot when I make my cheese sauce for mac and cheese, if I have one on hand. The more different cheeses in the sauce, the better the flavor, IMO. |
|
| I toss mine into a bag in the freezer and then pull out what I need when making sauces or soup. It really adds a rich flavor. I especially like it in Ribollita...MMMMMM, good! Linda |
