Cacio E Pepe Pigs In A Blanket Recipes

CARBONARA PIGS IN A BLANKET

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium-low heat, cook the pancetta until cooked through but not too crispy, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a sheet tray with parchment paper.
• Separate the dough into individual triangles. Cut each triangle lengthwise into 3 narrow triangles. Place a mini hot dog on the wide base end of a triangle. Starting at the base end of the triangle, roll up toward the pointed end, to wrap the hot dog. Place on the prepared sheet tray. Repeat with the remaining dough and mini hot dogs.
• In a small bowl, beat together the egg and Pecorino Romano cheese. Using a pastry brush, brush the pigs in a blanket with the egg mixture. Sprinkle with the diced pancetta.
• Bake until golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Arrange on a platter and serve with the Alfredo sauce for dipping.

CACIO E PEPE CHEESE PUFFS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425˚ F. Arrange two racks evenly spaced in the oven.
• In a medium (4 1/2-inch-diameter by 6-inch-high) saucepan, heat the milk, butter, 1 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper over medium heat, just until the milk is scalded (see Cook's Note). Add the flour all at once and beat it vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes together. Lower the heat and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Dump the mixture into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Immediately add the eggs, 1/2 cup of Pecorino and the Parmesan and pulse until the eggs and cheeses are completely incorporated.
• Working in batches, spoon the mixture into a large pastry bag fitted with a plain 5/8-inch round pastry tip. Pipe the dough in mounds 1 1/4 inches wide and 3/4 inch high (1 inch apart) on two sheet pans lined with parchment paper. (They should look like huge Hershey's Kisses.) With a wet finger, lightly press down the swirl on top of each puff. (You can also use two spoons to scoop the mixture and shape the puffs.) Brush the top of each puff lightly with the egg wash and sprinkle with Pecorino, salt and pepper. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until browned. Rotate the pans halfway through so they brown evenly. Serve hot.

CACIO E PEPE E FAGIOLI AND STUFF

Steps:

• Empty sweet peas and cannellini beans into a saucepan; cook and stir over medium-high heat until heated through and 1/3 of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Stir butter into pea mixture until melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium.
• Stir Parmesan cheese and black pepper into pea mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until creamy and thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.

CACIO E PEPE

Steps:

• Cook the pasta for 2 mins less than pack instructions state, in salted boiling water. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium frying pan over a low heat, then add the ground black pepper and toast for a few minutes.
• Drain the pasta, keeping 200ml of the pasta water. Tip the pasta and 100ml of the pasta water into the pan with the butter and pepper. Toss briefly, then scatter over the parmesan evenly, but don't stir - wait for the cheese to melt for 30 seconds, then once melted, toss everything well, and stir together. This prevents the cheese from clumping or going stringy and makes a smooth, shiny sauce. Add a splash more pasta water if you need to, to loosen the sauce and coat the pasta. Serve immediately with a good grating of black pepper.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bucatini pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until almost tender yet still firm to the bite, 8 to 9 minutes; they will not be fully cooked. Drain, reserving about 2 cups of pasta cooking water. Set pasta aside.
• Combine Pecorino Romano cheese and 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of pasta water and stir into a thick paste.
• Heat olive oil in a skillet or saucepan over medium-low heat; swirl to coat the bottom. Add cheese paste and a ladle of pasta water; whisk vigorously to combine.
