Directions
Pasta Alla Cacio E Pepe,This is purported to be “the best quick meal” we’ve ever tasted, as per Yvonne Ruperti in Cook’s Illustrated. There are two other recipes for cacio e pepe (pasta with Pecorino Romano cheese and black pepper) on RecipeZaar, but this one adds at least one more ingredient to keep the cheese from turning into a big clump. Add cream. This recipe was reprinted as “recipe of the week” in The Week magazine.,This is one of my all time favorite Italian dishes. The recipe is so easy to make and comes together in no time at all@!
