Happy Spring my friends! I wrote this blog a couple months ago and am just getting around to posting it. It was snowing when I created this so forgive me for the dated text!
I just got home from 2 weeks in Mexico where I only had pasta once. The first day back I knew exactly what to do. I had been craving CACIO E PEPE for months and was waiting for the right time to make it. That time is NOW!
Cacio E Pepe in Italian means cheese and pepper. This dish is like a stripped down Mac and Cheese with tons of cracked black pepper. It is super simple to make and even simpler to eat. It’s also very convenient because it doesn’t require many ingredients and takes almost no time to give the amount of mise en place you will need.
Once the pasta is ready you will want asses in seats. Sorry for the language but when it comes to eating hot fresh pasta I don’t mess around. Make sure your family or loved one is ready to sit down as soon as it hits the table. It is that good and deserves our fullest attention.
The recipe below fed 2 hungry people with a little leftover. Feel free to double the recipe for a larger group or serve this portion as a side dish. If you have a different noodle preference then switch it up. It will taste just as good all the same!
