Excellent. Cut the salt in half or don't use it at all if you are salt-sensitive. The parmesan has all the salt you need but perhaps a little crunch from a sea salt of your choice would be a welcome addition.

Really enjoyed this dish but agree with other reviewer that salt was a little excessive. And I'm a salt-aholic! Can always add salt later.

This was easy to make and had a great consistency but seemed really salty.
I'd try it again but without the salt.
