My mission in life is to fined those simple, tasty, earthy pasta dishes that you can imagine yourself eating while spending a holiday in Florence with the hot italian waiter that keeps asking you to come back at the end of his shift so he can take you dancing. This one does that for me.
It is super easy and satisfying. Be sure to get good quality parm, it makes a big difference. I catch myself making a small bowl of this pasta as a late night snack.

I tweeked the recipe a little. I used shredded parmesan because thats all I had. I had to add a little cream to it, but I think I got the same results. It was simple and tasty and a great side with chicken!

This was good. I had this with parmesan crusted chicken and the combination was delish! I had a problem with the parmesan cheese clumping together in the pasta… don’t know if I was doing something wrong.

I really liked it, but thought that with the salt in the pasta water, the salt in the cheese, and the added salt, it was just a little too salty–right on the limit of being uncomfortably salty. With a little less salt, it’s a perfectly marvelous dish, the kind of thing I would make for myself when my husband’s out of town. Simple and flavorful.

Very good!
This was lovely by itself, so simply. I always have cheese but rarely cream or half& half so it’s nice to have a cheesy pasta dish. This would also be a good blank slate for any kind of veggies.

Is thre something you can substitute for the pecorino romano cheese?

LOL, this is what my grandma used to make for me and my cousins when she had nothing left in the fridge. Simple and tasty. It’s not served in resaturants tho…at least in Italy. But I agree that it’s one of the best comfort food ever!

Cacio e pepe is so wonderful! The black pepper can be surprisingly spicy in this dish. This recipe is actually nearly identical to the recipe I already use!
By the way, from a foreign languages minor, cacio means cheese!
