Cacio Pepe is a classic Roman pasta dish that translates to "cheese and pepper." Made with just three simple ingredients—spaghetti, Pecorino Romano cheese, and freshly cracked black pepper—this dish embodies the essence of Italian cuisine. Cacio Pepe is creamy yet light, as the cheese melts into a luscious sauce when combined with hot pasta. While it's indulgent, it’s also straightforward, focusing on quality ingredients over heavy sauces. The dish is relatively high in calories, but the use of whole ingredients like cheese and fresh pepper adds flavor and protein, making it a comforting yet satisfying meal that's both simple and sophisticated.
