Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe
A pure expression of Roman cuisine: spaghetti dressed in a creamy emulsion of pecorino romano and black pepper, without cream or butter.
Dish Story
Cacio e Pepe is all about balance and technique. We finely grate pecorino romano and combine it with hot pasta water to form a velvety sauce that clings to each strand.
Generous amounts of freshly cracked black pepper add warmth and complexity, making this seemingly simple dish unforgettable.
