Could we get the recipe(s) for the cacio e pepe shown in this segment? They look incredible.
can confirm immersion blending the cheese and water is the method to make perfect cacio e pepe every time. don't even bother trying to make it any other way.
Yum! One of my two favorites (the other is puttanesca:)) cacio e pepe is deceptive ‘cause it’s not as simple as it looks. Gotta be careful that it doesn’t get lumpy.
This was one of my late husband’s favorite pasta dishes. Despite that, I NEVER could get him to remember to save the pasta water.
Spaghetti with olive oil, parmesan cheese, and pepper is enough for me… I'll sub a pack of ramen, depending on my pantry…
Pasta water is a known starch thickening agent, which is why you save some…
It’s such a shame SO MANY Americans in Flyover states / rural areas settle for a god-awful place like The Olive Garden to get fake “Italian” food!!! Thank god for NYC, L.A., Chicago, Seattle, San Francisco, etc with family owned restaurants that try to replicate Rome!!
Why would you choose the Chorus of Jewish Slaves as background music for a video about Roman pasta?
Erm, the sound of love. Looks delicious!
I'm gonna make this!
Yummy😍😋🐽
Yum!
No mention that Romano is SHEEP's cheese, which makes sense of the idea that this is a food that shepherd's would eat
Now I want some!!
So fun, my favorite dish when I visited Rome in 2019. I couldn’t get enough of it. I tried making it last month because I had a craving. It turned out pretty good. Great story!!
Does that guy only do stories from Italy?
So can we send pasta Alfredo to the grave permanently now, per favore?
The real sound of love
Pay no attention to the huge glucose spike from this
I didn’t know that this is an actual Roman dish. I’ve been making it for years because I love pasta, black pepper and pecorino cheese. It’s so easy and delicious. Sometimes I make it in the middle of the night when I have insomnia. I will sleep like a baby afterwards. 😊
I am currently in a cardio e peppe phase…and inspired by this…I may try a bit of lemon zest…
Simple Dish , nothing special ..🤷♂️
Anyone else hate pepper on pasta? I prefer standard Alfredo: Cheese and Butter
So simple yet so delicioso!!
Most times, the most simplest of dishes, are the most delicious
