Cacio e Pepe literally means “cheese and pepper”, and the list of ingredients concerns the simple fact. Simply add pasta, salt and water, and you have one of the most emblematic dishes in Roman cuisine. Attributed to the Lazio Shepherds which had to carry all their ingredients with them, its rustic simplicity is a little misleading. An emulsion of pasta water, grated cheese and pepper achieves something like alchemy – a smooth, rich and irressible sauce.
