Do you want to bring the Roman cuisine to your home? Watch these videos for authentic recipes of two dishes that you must try!
Cacio e Pepe is a traditional Roman pasta dish that translates to “cheese and pepper” in English. To make Cacio e Pepe, you will need spaghetti, Pecorino Romano cheese, black pepper, and salt. The key to this dish is in the technique. The pasta is cooked until it's al dente, then it's gently tossed in a luscious sauce made with grated Pecorino Romano cheese, a splash of pasta water, and a generous sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper. The heat from the pasta helps melt the cheese, creating a smooth and velvety sauce.
One of the major difficulties in preparing this type of pasta is creating the perfect creamy sauce! That's why watching a video can help understand the perfect consistency.
The same problem with the creamy sauce also applies to Pasta alla Carbonara, which I'm sure you know! Pasta alla Carbonara is another typical dish of Roman cuisine made with eggs, guanciale, pecorino cheese, and black pepper!
Be careful: if just by seeing the recipe for Cacio e Pepe pasta you got a craving, when you see the recipe for Carbonara pasta, you'll have an irresistible urge to run to the kitchen and start cooking!
Buon appetito!
