SPAGHETTI CACIO E PEPE (CHEESE AND PEPPER)

Steps:

• Cook spaghetti, al dente, in salted water according to package directions.
• Drain spaghetti, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid, and return spaghetti to the pot.

• Stir in pepper and any additional liquid, if needed; season with salt if necessary.

CACIO E PEPE

Steps:

• In a pan just wide enough to hold the pasta, place enough water to fill the pan 1 inch from the bottom. Season the water with a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Spread the pasta in the pan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking together. Allow the pasta water to reduce; do not add more, as you want the starchy water to be minimal when the remaining ingredients are added.
• Meanwhile, add the coarse black pepper to a separate small pan over medium heat. Toast a minute or two until fragrant.
• Once the pasta is al dente and the pasta water has reduced so only a slight coating remains at the bottom of the pan, turn off the heat and add the toasted ground black pepper and Pecorino-Romano. Stir and toss vigorously until both ingredients are well incorporated into the pasta. Toss in the olive oil and season with salt.
• Transfer the pasta to a large bowl and garnish with more black pepper, Pecorino-Romano and extra-virgin olive oil.

EXTRA-CREAMY CACIO E UOVA WITH GRATED EGG

Steps:

• Whisk 2 of the eggs with the yolk, Pecorino Romano, 1/2 cup Parmesan, 1 tablespoon water, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of black pepper in a large bowl until smooth and well combined; set aside.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat and season the water generously with salt. Fill a medium bowl with ice water and set aside. Once the water is boiling, gently lower the remaining 2 whole eggs into the pot with a slotted spoon or tongs and cook until hard-boiled (the whites and yolks are firmly set), about 10 minutes. Transfer the eggs with the slotted spoon to the ice water, keeping the water in the pot boiling. Let the eggs cool completely, then peel and set aside.
• Add the rigatoni to the boiling water and cook until al dente according to the package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water, then drain the rigatoni well and set aside.
• Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the panko and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown and toasted, about 5 minutes. Stir in the parsley, lemon zest and remaining 2 tablespoons Parmesan until combined. Transfer to a small bowl; set aside.
• Wipe out the skillet and add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Melt over medium-high heat, then add the garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender and fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the pasta and toss with a rubber spatula to combine. Lower the heat to medium-low. Pour in 1/4 cup of the reserved pasta water and the egg-cheese mixture. Cook, stirring continuously and scraping the bottom and sides of the skillet, until the cheese has melted and the sauce is silky and slightly thickened to coat the pasta nicely, 2 to 4 minutes. It's important to turn the pasta frequently and scrape the skillet with a rubber spatula to ensure that the sauce cooks evenly and the eggs do not scramble. If the sauce is too thick, add more pasta water, 2 tablespoons at a time, to adjust the consistency. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Spoon into 4 shallow bowls, then top evenly with the toasted panko. Finely grate the hard-boiled eggs on a rasp grater over the pasta.

EASY CACIO E PEPE PASTA FILLING RECIPE BY TASTY

CACIO E PEPE PIZZA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the pizza dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour and warm water and stir with your hands until a shaggy mass forms (it will be a little dry, but will hydrate after resting). Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and let the dough rest at room temperature for 20 minutes.
• Uncover the bowl and sprinkle the yeast and salt over the dough. Stir with a wooden spoon until the yeast and salt are evenly distributed.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until a smooth ball forms, about 10 minutes. It will be very sticky because of the high hydration. Try not to use too much extra flour; instead use a bench scraper or flat metal spatula to scrape the dough from the surface and continue kneading. You can also dip your palms in flour to help keep the dough from sticking.
• Grease a clean large bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, then place the dough in the bowl, cover with the kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 90 minutes. Remove the towel and loosely cover the bowl with plastic wrap, then place in the refrigerator overnight.
• Make the Parmesan cream: Add the ricotta, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and heavy cream to a blender and blend on medium speed until just combined, about 15 seconds. Transfer to a zip-top bag and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Remove the dough from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 500°F (260°C). Place a baking sheet, upside down, in the center of the oven while it preheats.
• Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over a clean baking sheet.
• Transfer the dough from the bowl to the oiled baking sheet. Gently use your hands to stretch it into a 12-inch round. Place the crushed ice in the center of the dough.
• Place the baking sheet with the pizza in the oven on top of the inverted baking sheet. Bake until the edges begin to crisp and the pizza dough is light golden in color, about 8 minutes.
• Remove the pizza from the oven and arrange the mozzarella slices evenly on top, then sprinkle with the Pecorino Romano.
• Return the pizza to the oven and continue baking until the cheese is completely melted, about 4 minutes more.
• Remove the pizza from the oven and use a pepper mill to evenly grind the black pepper over the entire pizza.
• Cut a ½-inch opening from the corner of the zip-top bag with the Parmesan cream, then drizzle in a circular pattern over the pizza.
• Slice into 8 pieces and serve.
• Enjoy!
