About Cacio e pepe
Cacio e Pepe, a classic dish from Roman cuisine, translates to "cheese and pepper" in Italian. This simple yet flavorful recipe combines spaghetti or bucatini pasta with Pecorino Romano cheese and freshly cracked black pepper to create a creamy, indulgent sauce without adding cream or butter. Its simplicity highlights the quality of its ingredients, making it a staple comfort food in Italian households. While Cacio e Pepe is rich in calcium due to the cheese, it's also relatively high in saturated fat and sodium, which may require moderation for those watching their intake. With minimal added fats, it can be a lighter alternative to cheese-based pasta dishes, though portion control is important to balance calories and nutritional content. This dish's satisfying flavor and uncomplicated preparation make it a delightful choice for an occasional indulgence in a balanced diet.
