Cheese and Pepper
Eggs are a blank canvas, welcoming any additional flavors. Cacio e Pepe literally means “cheese and pepper.” The addition of our star ingredients creates a creamy soft scrambled egg texture and the steps to make the meal are incredibly simple. The secret to perfecting this dish is fresh cracked pepper from whole pepper corns. Pre cracked or ground pepper will lose its flavor and potency after it has been processed. So, by the time the pepper hits your food, its flavor has diminished. To create course cracked pepper, simply turn your pepper grinder to the largest setting, or use a mortar and pestle to grind the peppercorns by hand. For the cheese I recommend using fresh grated parmesan. Freshly grated parmesan will melt better and contribute more flavor.
