Molho Cacio e Pepe, originating from traditional Roman cuisine, is a simple yet flavorful sauce made primarily from Pecorino Romano cheese, black pepper, and pasta water. The name directly translates to "cheese and pepper" in Italian, highlighting its minimal ingredients and rich cultural heritage. The creamy texture is achieved by blending the grated cheese and hot pasta water to create a luxurious emulsion that coats the pasta. While highly indulgent, Molho Cacio e Pepe can be high in sodium and saturated fats due to the aged Pecorino cheese. It’s devoid of added oils or heavy cream, making it a purer option compared to other creamy sauces. For balance, combining it with whole-grain pasta or pairing it with a light side dish can make it part of a more wholesome meal. Perfect for those seeking simplicity and comfort with a touch of Italian authenticity.
