Yum😍😍😍
I disliked because of the title, there never was or ever will be a secret to this basic Roman dish. It's just emulsifying pasta water and pecorino romano, and adding in toasted black pepper. It's just a technique video and there is no recipe. The only person who came close to finding out a "secret" about this dish is Alex the French Guy Cooking, he made the 2 best Caccio e Peppe videos on the internet.
When will youtubers stop abusing the title. Every single time they say "secret" the word they are looking for is "technique"
(The moment I saw the title I knew that this is what I would see so just came by to say this)
Anyways I'm out
está bueno 😜👏🏻
