Recipe of Cacio e Pepe

Join me and let's see how to make Cacio e Pepe

Instructions:

Step 1
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the pasta and cook until al dente, following the package instructions. Remember to reserve some pasta water before draining.
Step 2
• While the pasta is cooking, toast the freshly cracked black pepper in a dry skillet over low heat for about a minute. This enhances the pepper's flavor.
Step 3
• In a mixing bowl, combine the finely grated Pecorino Romano cheese and most of the toasted black pepper (leave a little for garnish).
Step 4
• When the pasta is cooked, use a ladle to transfer it directly from the pot to the mixing bowl with the cheese and pepper. Do this quickly while the pasta is still hot.
Step 5
• Toss the pasta vigorously, adding a bit of reserved pasta water as needed, until you have a creamy sauce that coats the pasta. The heat from the pasta will melt the cheese and create a smooth sauce.
Step 6
• Serve the Cacio e Pepe immediately, garnishing with the remaining toasted black pepper. Enjoy your taste of Rome!
