Did You Know

Asiago is a semifirm Italian cheese with a rich, nutty flavor. It's a bit softer than Parmesan cheese and tastes a little smoother.

Success

Place parsley in a glass measuring cup and use kitchen scissors to quickly chop it.

Substitution

Parmesan cheese is a good substitute for the Asiago.
