THREAD Tonight, some live tweeting making dinner. This evening comes from a little further afield from last time. No spoilers as to what it is until the end. Guesses are welcome 😃 #Cooking #Cuisine
First, a load of Pecorino Romano cheese in a bowl.
Roast a lot of tellicherry peppercorns
Course grind the peppercorns
Add 2/3 of the ground peppercorns to the cheese
Add a small amount of cold water and blend until it forms a paste
Boil your pasta water. It should be “as salty as the sea” in the words of my grandmother.
Boil your pasta until half done
More pepper in the pan + pasta water and reduce
Add the pasta to the pan of pepper water until al dente
Transfer al dente pasta to a bowl and add cheese paste
Mix quickly with a little bit more pasta water
Tada! Cacio e Pepe the greatest Roman dish
