Cracked Pepper Cacio e Pepe

A classic Roman pasta, made easy with the pepper already built in. Serves 2–3.

Ingredients

  • 1 package Cracked Pepper Linguini

  • 4 tablespoons butter

  • 1 cup grated pecorino romano

  • Reserved pasta water

  • Additional cracked black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the linguini according to the package directions above; reserve at least 1 cup pasta water before draining.

  2. In a large skillet over low heat, melt the butter and add about 1/2 cup of the hot pasta water.

  3. Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss over low heat. Gradually add the pecorino a handful at a time, tossing constantly and adding more pasta water as needed to form a creamy sauce.

  4. Finish with extra cracked pepper and serve immediately — cacio e pepe is best eaten right away, before the sauce firms up.
