About Cacio e

Cacio e Pepe is a traditional Italian pasta dish originating from Rome, celebrated for its simplicity and flavor. Its name translates to "cheese and pepper," reflecting its minimalist ingredients: pasta, Pecorino Romano cheese, freshly cracked black pepper, and a touch of pasta water to create a creamy sauce. This dish is high in carbohydrates, primarily from the pasta, and provides protein and calcium from the cheese. While Cacio e Pepe is indulgent in flavor, it can be high in sodium and saturated fat due to the Pecorino Romano. It’s a delightful choice for those seeking a comforting meal with authentic Italian roots, but moderation is key when incorporating it into a balanced diet. Pairing it with vegetables or opting for whole-grain pasta can enhance its nutritional profile and keep it closer to a wholesome, well-rounded dish.
