Cacio e Pepe
Cacio e Pepe is a classic Roman pasta dish with only a few ingredients: pasta, Pecorino Romano, black pepper, and pasta water. Many modern recipes add butter, but in the original version, it's the cheese and pasta water that create the creamy sauce. A simple, authentic, and incredibly flavorful dish where the few ingredients truly get to shine.
