Cacio e Pepe is a Roman pasta dish. Cacio e Pepe means cheese and pepper in several central Italian languages. As the name suggests the ingredients of the dish are very simple and include only black pepper and Pecorino Romano cheese. The only precaution to be taken in preparing this dish consists in leaving some cooking hot water with the pasta: this will melt the cheese that will stick together with the pepper to the pasta.
