This Cacio e Pepe is made close to the traditional way. The traditional version uses spaghetti. In this case, I used Penne and it turned out incredibly well.
Tips:
-serve in a warm bowl (I pour in a little extra pasta water to warm the bowl up then dump it out just before the pasta is dumped in
-add your pasta water to the cheese slowly.
-let the pasta water cool for a minute before adding it to the cheese
Ingredients:
-pasta (I used penne but spaghetti is traditional)
-Fresh Ground Black Pepper
-Pecorino Romano
-pasta water

They served thst to me at school yesterday 😂
One good thing to remember is the dried pasta we eat has low starch content so if you are making this and the cheese is not emulsifying add cornstarch to the pan when mixing up the cheese paste
Pro tip cream will emulsify the cheese, and water will actually fight with the proteins in the cheese. With cream, the fats combine with the protiens, and it becomes one. 😊
