Cacio e pepe is a beloved Roman pasta dish that consists primarily of three simple ingredients: Pecorino Romano cheese, freshly cracked black pepper, and long pasta, typically paired with bucatini or spaghetti. The dish creates a glossy, creamy sauce using just the cooking water for the pasta, making it a challenge to perfect without ending up with clumped cheese. With practice and the addition of one more ingredient, making a flavorful and smooth cacio e pepe at home becomes achievable, perfect for any occasion from casual weeknight dinners to special date nights.
Cacio e pepe is traditionally made with just three ingredients: Pecorino Romano cheese, freshly cracked black pepper, and pasta, binding together into a silky sauce.
Despite its simplicity, making cacio e pepe is famously tricky, often resulting in cheese clumps; mastering this technique offers a delicious outcome just as authentic.
