How to Make BEST CACIO E PEPE PASTA
INGREDIENTS:
300gr - 10.5oz Spaghettoni (thick spaghetti)
200g - 1cup Pecorino Romano (grated)
Pepper
Rock Salt
3L water (12.8cups)
UTENSILS:
1 medium sized deep bowl
Fork
Spatula
Mixing bowl
Large pot for boiling pasta
Medium size fry pan
METHOD:
1. This cacio e pepe pasta recipe starts with boiling the water on the stove in a large pot.
2. When the water comes to boil, add rock salt and let it dissolve.
3. Add the pasta to the boiling water, keeping an eye on the time and cooking the pasta 2-3 minutes less than the desired cooking time.
4. Next, is the secret to taking your cacio e pepe pasta recipe from good to GREAT! Put the fry pan on your stove at a medium heat and sprinkle a generous amount of freshly cracked pepper in it.
5. Leave the pepper to lightly toast for a few minutes and grate at least 300g of pecorino cheese into a bowl.
6. Once the pepper has been toasting for a few minutes, use a ladle and scoop out some pasta water, pouring it into the pan where it should bubble up!
VINCENZO’S PLATE TIP: The water should become a little bit white, which is a perfect sign! This is the starch and will help the pepper (and cheese) to stick to your pasta!
7. Now, add half a ladle of water to your bowl and mix it together using a fork or a spatula to create a thick paste. Don’t add too much or it will become runny (If it does, add extra grated pecorino cheese to thicken it up again).
8. Once the pasta has approx. 3 minutes left to cook, using a set of long tongs, get the pasta out and add it to your fry pan. Mix this together really well and add a cup full of pasta water too.
9. If you notice the water drying up, add some more along with more pepper and keep mixing.
10. After mixing this through for 2 minutes, turn the heat off, and add the cheesy paste for the cacio e pepe recipe to the pan.
11. Now it’s very important to help the cheese melt and dissolve into the water. For the perfect cacio e pepe, there shouldn’t be any stringy or thick pieces of cheese in your pasta.
12. Combine all of this for at least another minute or until all of your cheese is dissolved and then toss your pan up even gently if you find it hard because it will help to stop the cheese from over cooking and also lather all the strands of pasta even more.
HOW TO SERVE:
1. Immediately! This dish must be eaten as quickly as possible with a final sprinkle of cracked pepper and of course pecorino cheese.
E ora si mangia, Vincenzo’s Plate…Enjoy!
