Pasta Cacio e Pepe (Cheese and Pepper) is the perfect example of a minimal dish that packs maximum flavor. The only tricks are using really good ingredients (the cheese and the butter), and cooking the pasta perfectly al dente. Pair it with an arugola salad and you won’t miss your Mac ‘n Cheese!
Ingredients
- a package of Italian pasta (tagliolini, linguine, bucatini, or thick spaghetti)
- coarse salt
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 3/4 tablespoon freshly grated black pepper (or to taste)
- 2/3 cup freshly grated Italian Parmigiano Reggiano
- 1/3 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano
Directions
Cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water.
Melt half the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pepper and cook for one minute.
Add half of the reserved pasta water to the skillet, bring to a simmer and add the pasta and the rest of the butter.
Remove the skillet from the heat; add both the Parmigiano and the Pecorino cheeses, tossing well and adding more pasta water if the pasta is too dry.
