Notes
2023-04-10: not bad for a bachelor dish, but in this form I don't like it enough to serve to guests. Next time around I'll try two jars of cherry peppers if they are sweet, or, better yet, one jar of hot cherry peppers. The immersion blender didn't work for the pepper emulsion; had to use the blender instead. I should double or quadruple the amount of cheese as well.
2023-04-22: I made it again tonight with hot cherry peppers instead of mild, spicy ground sausage, and a real block parmesan, not the pre-powdered stuff. So good! I would do the other version for guests who can't handle any spice, but this spicy version is definitely great.
