Cacio e Pepe that is Cheese and Pepper: the recipe

Cacio e Pepe (Cheese and Pepper) is a classic pasta dish of Roman Cuisine. You can use Bucatini or Rigatoni pasta. The beauty of the recipe is in its simplicity, there are just the 2 ingredients: Pecorino Romano D.O.P. and freshly ground black pepper.

I would recommend a quality Pecorino that won’t become lumpy once in the pan. However, when you blend in the cheese it is important to lower the heat… Here is the recipe of my Cacio e Pepe.

Cacio e Pepe: ingredients

Remember 1 ounce = 28 grams
For 2 people (generous portions)

  • 250 grams (about 8oz) Bucatini (alternatively Spaghettoni or Rigatoni)

However, I love travelling and I have visited many countries spanning five continents. I became involved in food a few years ago, when I organised an English lesson focussed on Cheese Tasting. Since then, I have become a Cheese Taster (Onaf), and a Youtuber, shooting many videos about food. I am greatly honoured to be collaborating with La Buona Tavola, and I hope I’ll be able to share many interesting stories and experiences with our Readers.
