Cacio e Pepe
Just three ingredients - cheese, pepper, and pasta water - transform into a sauce so creamy it seems impossible without dairy. The trick is starch, patience, and a pan that isn't too hot.
Ingredients
- 1 pound tonnarelli or spaghetti
- 2 cups finely grated pecorino romano
Instructions
- Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot and add 1 tablespoon kosher salt; the water should taste noticeably salty since it becomes your sauce base.
