Preparation

Chef’s notes

This version is less rich than the original, using milk instead of cream. For a richer taste, consider adding cream.
Cheese swaps are possible:
mascarpone for ricotta, parmesan for pecorino, or another choice instead of blue cheese.
Consider adding a few chopped basil leaves for additional flavor.
