Cacio e Pepe
Cacio e Pepe is the easiest and, perhaps, most classic of all Italian dishes. It really is so simple to make any night of the week, and it works well for Meatless Monday and these warm summer nights when you don’t want to turn on your oven or heat up the house. The name Cacio e Pepe translates directly to cheese and pepper, and that’s about all it takes to make a perfect bowl of this pasta.

Process
Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results
- In a large skillet over high heat, bring 4 cups water to a boil. Add in 1 tablespoon kosher salt and dried spaghetti.
- Return pan to a boil and reduce heat to medium-high. Cook for 10 minutes, using a wooden spoon to move the pasta around and ensure it is all getting cooked.
- After 10 minutes, most of the water will have absorbed or evaporated. Turn off the heat and add 1/4 cup olive oil right into the skillet. Use a cheese grater to grate about 1/2 cup of Pecorino Romano cheese into the pan and stir together.
- Top with more freshly cracked black pepper than you can imagine needing, at least 1 tablespoon, and stir well to combine.
- Serve in a shallow bowl and add a drizzle of olive oil, another sprinkle of grated cheese and more cracked black pepper, as desired.
