Mentioned as a favorite during an Italian-themed month.
Cacio e pepe is a pasta dish originating from Lazio, Italy. Its defining characteristic is the combination of grated Pecorino Romano cheese and black pepper, typically served with tonnarelli or spaghetti. Careful preparation is needed to achieve a smooth, creamy texture, as the cheese can easily become lumpy.
