Spaghetti cacio e pepe
I've always wanted to write this classic Roman recipe, but I was worried that it was far too simple. Simplicity at its best.
SERVES 2 PREP 5 MINS COOK 10 MINS
- 40 black peppercorns, freshly coarse-ground black pepper, to serve
- * 225g dried spaghetti, ideally bronze die quality
- * 100g pecorino Romano cheese, finely grated
1 Fill a large saucepan with 3 liters of water, add 1tbsp salt and bring to a boil. Cook the spaghetti for 3 mins less than instructed on the packet, stirring occasionally.
2 Put a large frying pan or a wok over a high heat and add the crushed peppercorns. Toast for 2 mins, stirring occasionally. Pour in 1 full ladle of the pasta cooking water. It will immediately start to bubble; keep it bubbling for 30 secs. Set aside.
3 Put the cheese in a bowl. Pour in half a ladle of the cooking water and mix for 1 min to create a very thick creamy sauce.
4 Using large tongs, lift the spaghetti into the pan with the pepper, then put over high heat. Do not discard the pasta cooking water. Pour 2 ladles of the cooking water over the pasta and mix for 2 mins. Switch off the heat and pour the cheese mixture over.
5 Quickly mix for 30 secs, making sure all the pasta is coated with the cheese. Pour half a ladle more cooking water over the pasta and stir for a further min. If needed, add a more cooking water.
6 Serve immediately with more freshly ground pepper on top, if liked.
