Pecorino Romano

Pecorino Romano is an excellent grating cheese, and there are people who combine it with Parmigiano, or prefer it to Parmigiano. I find that it works especially well with greens-based pasta sauces. It's also perfect as an ingredient, for example in meatballs or stuffings, because it doesn't become stringy with heat. Remember, if you add it to a recipe that doesn't call for it, to adjust salt because it is salty.
