Pasta Cacio e Pepe is a simple Roman pasta dish which is basically condimented with Romano cheese and pepper.
Despite it’s simplicity, I actually like this pasta but it can get cloying after several bites. Two places that I know of that serves good Pasta Cacio e Pepe is I Clementini as well as Fraschetta.
But it’s easy enough to try to make it on your own. Do take care though, and make the creamy cheese mixture first because if you put the hot pasta directly on the cheese, it’ll coagulate and look really horrible. #truestory
This sounds easy enough! Maybe I’ll try this.
What meat/other protein goes well with this? 🙂 Chicken?
I guess you could add in bacon, but it wouldn’t be called Cacio e pepe anymore 😛
Looks easy to make and it sounds a little like mac & cheese? 😀
Somewhat I guess, just that pecorino romano has a stronger taste compared to cheddar used in mac and cheese 😀
