Want a traditional Italian dish true to its roots that can be made in under 20 minutes? This cacio e pepe not only checks all those boxes, but also will have your tastebuds dancing with elegant flavors of peppercorn and pecorino.
1. Fill a large pot with water and season generously with kosher salt. Bring to a boil and cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water.
2. Meanwhile, in a large sauté pan, melt butter and then add black pepper. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add the reserved pasta water, followed by the pasta. Reduce heat to low and add pecorino romano cheese a little at a time, tossing continually until cheese has melted and pasta is coated. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
