You can turn anything into mouth watering, soul warming parmigiana with this recipe from our chefs!

Learn how to make your own delicious Napoli sauce at home, and how we create our cheesy crumbs. We recommend making the sauce first, and then cooking your meat or veg as the sauce tastes best when cooked really slowly over 4-6 hours.

All you have to do is cook your vegetables or chicken (or whatever you want to turn into parmigiana) and then smother in our delicious sauce, top with cheesy crumbs and then place under your grill until beautifully golden brown to take your favourite dishes to the next level.

We also love using these cheesy crumbs on shepherds pie, moussaka or anything that can use a delicious crunchy cheesy golden layer.
