Cacio e Pepe is a classic Italian pasta dish originating from Rome, celebrated for its simplicity and rich flavors. The name translates to "cheese and pepper," highlighting its two key ingredients. Traditionally made with spaghetti or tonnarelli, the pasta is tossed with Pecorino Romano cheese, freshly ground black pepper, and a small amount of starchy pasta water to create a creamy, flavorful sauce. While indulgent, Cacio e Pepe offers some nutritional benefits from protein in the cheese and the energy-supporting carbohydrates in the pasta. However, it is a high-calorie dish with notable amounts of saturated fat and sodium due to the cheese. Best enjoyed in moderation, its minimal ingredient list makes it a straightforward meal with no additives, appealing to those seeking wholesome simplicity in their cuisine.
