I’m an ex personal chef and this is the kind of thing I would make after a long day of work when I just can’t be bothered.. an anchovy cacio e pepe! SO good! 5 ingredients and done in 10-12 minutes with no chopping (just mincing and grating hehe). Truly perfection let me know if you make it!!
Ingredients:
100-150g pecorino
3 cloves of garlic
4-5 anchovy fillets
1 tbsp whole black peppercorns
Pasta
Butter & oil for frying
Method:
Toast the peppercorns in a pan and then crush them, set aside. Put your pasta on to boil, I’m using linguine. Fry the minced garlic and anchovies in a bug knob of butter and oil until they have melted together. Once the pasta is cooked, drag it into the anchovy mix, sprinkle over the grated cheese and black pepper and mix well using pasta water to bind it. Add more butter and cheese if necessary, serve with more pepper and cheese!

Anchovy garlic al burro?
Similar to my go to meal, but I use chili flakes and parsley instead of the black pepper. The anchovies are 👌

Every chef i've known just gets a kebab or has a pot noodle

When I can’t be bothered I eat a hot dog cold from the fridge and go to bed

💯 but also be careful not to let it get too hot or the cheese will split.

i can see why you became an "EX"
“Super quick easy meal for when I’m too lazy to really cook”
immediately brings out mortar and pestle
So pretentious 🙄
Everyone look at my flat stomach
It takes 12 minutes because the pasta was already cooked. Who has cooked pasta laying around??
You sound like you’re asleep
Protein not included
Any veg???
Leave out garlic and butter, use a costly olive oil instead.
Way too hot to be a private chef
Try the lemon zest with anchovy version of this ,
