When you think of Rome, it’s hard to go past the highlights: the Colosseum, Vatican, Spanish steps… but of course for me, the best part of Rome are the Roman pastas. No trip to the Eternal City is complete without tasting its most iconic dishes and in particular, Cacio e Pepe.
Simple, salty, creamy, and bursting with peppery goodness, this traditional Roman pasta is made with just grated Pecorino Romano cheese, black pepper, pasta, and a bit of starchy water to bring it all together. Even though it only has a few ingredients, it isn’t the easiest dish to make, but when done right, it’s absolute perfection.

What's the best way to make cacio paper for a family, 500g of pasta? Videos only make one plate of pasta!
Very detailed video. This looks fabulous! I'm an Italian-American my family is from Sicily. I have never had this dish. It is on my list as a must when I return to Rome❤
We’ll be in Rome in a week or so, so will try and pass by here if we have time.
Unfortunately my wife and daughters are Coeliac so will have to watch me eat 😜
My mouth is salivating, drooling, my only downside is the food from plastic plate and plastic cutlery is just NOT MY GO TO, I understand people want takeaway but I just think like coffee or anything else, the flavor changes drastically from drinking out of a glass into a cardboard carton. I would have to take my own plate and fork, just for the tasting experience. I cannot remember the last time I ate takeaway…
I am nearly out of Pecorino so only enough to put on my vegetable pasta dish I made.
Anywhere on your travels that you can highlight pasta made with buckwheat flour or lentil flour corn flour or mixture including yucca flour, am sure there are coeliacs in Italy….Who miss a great pasta dish…
Waiting patiently…Enjoy your travels…From the Canary Islands
So, their Ceasar cartoon is…french 😅 (it's clearly Asterix inspired, and it isn't a bad thing IMO)
I thought I’d already found the best cacio e pepe in Rome. Now I have a new place to try. Thank you for always providing great places to eat around Italy.
The most amazing food being served on a paper plate. All of Texas is giving you a salute.
I’ll have what he’s having 😋😋😋
Can you test Luciano Monosilio's carbonara while you're in Rome, please?
Don't blame them , they don't know how to cook
Very informative!
Hey Vincen, I have redesigned the thumbnail for your video where to send?
Such a beautiful dish. It's true, it IS very simple BUT if you don't know what exactly to do, you could make this 100 times and get it wrong.
I would need some bread so I could clean the plate completely!
Magnificent craft to make such a "simple" and delicious pasta! Just 3 ingredients and a masterpiece! The art is the cooking of the ingredients!
AMAZING!!! Love your content!
You took the pasta outside to show it for a long time. It died. And then you make us watch a close up. Eating the dead pasta.
10+ minutes? For a cacio pepe dish??? Oh my goodness #ufb
I made this 3-ingredient pasta tonight and it was stupendous! I used a mix of sheep milk Pecorino, Parmesan and pepper with spaghetti noodles and it was amazing! Even my wife loved it! When my "Esposa" loves what I cook, it means it's really good! Thank you Vincenzo!
I’m missing the directions of making the cheese paste. Do you simmer the pepper in pasta water before adding the cheese? And at what temp is the pepper water when you add the cheese?
The only complaint I would have, that’s an appetizer plate. I need 3 times that for a normal 1 meal course. 😂
0:31 I like that picture! A Roman emperor eating pasta!😊
Fantastic. The portion looks small to me.
Vinny, Is his recipe 50/50 Pecorino y Parmigiano? Grazie.
Have a good day vincenzo …. you're a nice guy
