Add the garlic salt. I personally love lawry's garlic salt. I put a tablespoon because I also love garlic, but put 2 tsp so the garlic wouldn't be over powering to other people.

Grate the block of cheese or have shredded cheese. Any white cheese would taste nice with the Parmesan, but I will list a few: asiago, Romano, or provolone.
