  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your dish the best flavor and texture. If you can, buy them from a local farmer's market or organic grocery store.
  • Cook the vegetables properly: Don't overcook the vegetables, or they will become mushy. Cook them until they are tender but still have a bit of a bite to them.
  • Use a good-quality Parmesan cheese: The Parmesan cheese is one of the key ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good-quality cheese. Look for a cheese that is aged for at least 12 months.
  • Don't skip the butter: The butter adds richness and flavor to the dish. If you're trying to cut calories, you can use less butter, but don't omit it entirely.
