Cacio e Pepe is one of my favourite pasta dishes to make, because it is so simple, but so delicious.
I never thought this recipe could be veganized until I found the right vegan parmesan...

RECIPE:
SERVES: 2
PREP TIME: 10-15 min
COKING TIME: 12 min
INGREDIENTS:
300g Spaghetti (try bronze cut pasta, Woolworths do good bronze cut pasta)
2 cups of grated vegan parmesan (I recommend the Violife one, available at Checkers)
1/4 cup of peppercorns (The 1/2 cup in the video was mistake... I'm bad at fractions)
Salt for pasta water
Extra vegan parmesan for garnish
DIRECTIONS:
Toast the peppercorns in a pan until they become fragrant. Crush the peppercorns with a mortar and pestle or grind them in a pepper grinder.
Grate 2 cups of vegan parmesan using the finest part of the grater.
Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to the boil. Use a bit less water than usual. Add the pasta and cook for half the recommended cooking time.
While the pasta is cooking, warm up a large non-stick pan and add a couple of ladles of pasta water. Then add the cheese and stir it until it becomes a thick, creamy sauce. Then add the pepper and mix it in.
Drain your pasta, remembering to save a few cups of pasta water. Add your pasta to the sauce and start mixing. Keep mixing and adding pasta water until you get a glossy sauce that coats the pasta.
Garnish with extra pepper and parmesan.
Enjoy in the bath!
