PICI CACIO E PEPE

authentic fresh pasta! 

IMPRESSIVE DINNER

This pici cacio e pepe is one of the simplest, authentic Italian recipes you'll ever have! Make the handmade pasta with just 3 ingredients, then toss it in the 2-ingredients sauce!

INGREDIENTS

Add flour to a bowl and create a "well." Pour in warm water and olive oil.

Using a fork, slowly mix flour into the well until a batter is formed. 

Fold in the loose flour until you have a shaggy dough.

Knead until dough is round and smooth (about 10 minutes). Then let rest for 1-2 hours.

Roll out dough and cut into long strips. 

Roll the dough strip back and forth until you have a long thin strand. 

Toast cracked black pepper for 5 minutes. 

Add pasta water to the pan and lower heat. 

Add pasta water to a bowl of grated cheese and mix until it's like a cream.

Add the pecorino cream and pasta water to the pan and lower heat. 

Toss to combine and add more pasta water as needed. Serve with more cheese, pepper, and a dash of salt.
