spaghetti cacio e pepe

Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe
This spaghetti cacio e pepe recipe has been made in our family for many years, and everyone loves it. It is a very basic and easy variation on mac and cheese.

INGREDIENTS :

    • 1 pound spaghetti
    • 6 tablespoons olive oil
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper
    • 1 ¾ cups grated Pecorino Romano cheese

DIRECTION:

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain spaghetti.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir garlic and pepper in hot oil until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Add cooked spaghetti and Pecorino Romano cheese. Ladle in 1/2 cup reserved cooking water; stir until cheese is melted, about 1 minute. Stir in more cooking water as needed, 1 tablespoon at a time, until sauce coats spaghetti, about 1 minute more.
