Cacio e Pepe… Easy

December 12, 2017 by Chris

We use a “for spices and herbs only” coffee grinder to reap enough pepper for this recipe. SO easy and SO good… you’ll only need 4 basic ingredients. Cacio e Pepe never gets old… enjoy!

Ingredients…

8 ounces pasta, bucatini or spaghetti

3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2+ teaspoons freshly cracked black pepper

1 cup Pecorino, finely grated

To Make…

Fill a large pasta pot with water and bring it to a boil. Season with salt.

Add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente. Drain and reserve the pasta cooking water.

Meanwhile, mix Pecorino, pepper and olive oil in a large bowl.

Add the pasta, stirring and tossing until cheese melts and coats the pasta …  adding some pasta water if sauce seems dry.

Transfer pasta to warm bowls and serve immediately. Garnish with more cheese and pepper.
