1 tablespoon whole black Tellicherry peppercorns
Kosher salt
1/2 pound dried Italian egg pasta, such as tagliarelle

2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Pasta, black pepper, and Pecorino Romano join together to form one of the best Roman pasta dishes. Here's how to perfect it, every time.

Provided by J. Kenji López-Alt

Categories     Mains

Time 25m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tablespoons (60ml) extra-virgin olive oil, divided
Coarsely ground black pepper, to taste
Kosher salt, to taste
1/2 pound (225g) spaghetti
2 tablespoons (30g) unsalted butter
2 ounces Pecorino Romano cheese (about 1 cup; 55g), very finely grated on a Microplane or the smallest holes of a box grater, plus more for serving

Steps:

  • Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil and about a teaspoon of black pepper in a medium skillet over medium-low heat until ingredients are fragrant and pepper is barely starting to sizzle, about 1 minute. Set aside.
  • Place spaghetti in a large skillet and cover with water. Season with a small pinch of salt, then bring to a boil over high heat, prodding spaghetti occasionally with a fork or wooden spoon to prevent it from clumping. Cook until spaghetti is al dente (typically about 1 minute less than the package recommends). Transfer 2 to 3 tablespoons of pasta cooking water to the skillet with the olive oil/pepper mixture. Stir in butter. Using tongs, lift spaghetti and transfer it to the oil/butter mixture.
  • Add cheese and remaining tablespoon olive oil to the skillet and stir with a fork until cheese is completely melted. Add a few more tablespoons of pasta water to the skillet to adjust consistency, reheating as necessary until the sauce is creamy and coats each strand of spaghetti. Season to taste with salt and more black pepper. Serve immediately, passing extra grated cheese and black pepper at the table.

TAGLIOLINI WITH PECORINO ROMANO AND BLACK PEPPER



Tagliolini With Pecorino Romano and Black Pepper image

Don't let the number of ingredients fool you, this dish offers a lot of flavor despite it's simplicity. Be sure to get high quality ingredients; it makes a big difference in a recipe with so few ingredients and it's still ridiculously cheap to make. Even the pepper is important, don't use the powdery stuff that's been sitting around for a year, splurge on some high quality peppercorns; you won't regret it. The lack of oil is one of the most notable things about this recipe. While some add oil or butter to this dish, you'll find it really isn't necessary. Instead you use the starchy pasta water to create an emulsion sauce with your cheese which will stick to the pasta beautifully. As for the pasta itself, taglioni is a particular cut, but this recipe would work just as well with something thicker like tagliatelle or fettucine. Although it's an old Roman favorite, I got this recipe from a recipe blog called "Rachel Eats" which I highly recommended. I wanted to post it on here to give it a wider audience.

CACIO E PEPE



Cacio e pepe image

Whip up a simple cacio e pepe for a speedy lunch. With four simple ingredients - spaghetti, pepper, parmesan and butter - this is a storecupboard favourite

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

200g bucatini or spaghetti
25g butter
2 tsp whole black peppercorns, ground, or 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
50g pecorino or parmesan, finely grated

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta for 2 mins less than pack instructions state, in salted boiling water. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium frying pan over a low heat, then add the ground black pepper and toast for a few minutes.
  • Drain the pasta, keeping 200ml of the pasta water. Tip the pasta and 100ml of the pasta water into the pan with the butter and pepper. Toss briefly, then scatter over the parmesan evenly, but don't stir - wait for the cheese to melt for 30 seconds, then once melted, toss everything well, and stir together. This prevents the cheese from clumping or going stringy and makes a smooth, shiny sauce. Add a splash more pasta water if you need to, to loosen the sauce and coat the pasta. Serve immediately with a good grating of black pepper.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Look for fresh pasta, Pecorino Romano cheese, and black pepper.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and bland.
  • Use a good quality Pecorino Romano cheese: Pecorino Romano is a hard, salty cheese made from sheep's milk. It has a strong, nutty flavor that pairs well with the pasta and black pepper.
  • Freshly ground black pepper is best: Freshly ground black pepper has a more intense flavor than pre-ground pepper. It will also help to distribute the pepper evenly throughout the dish.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to lose its flavor and texture if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This tagliolini with Pecorino Romano and black pepper is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover pasta. The combination of the salty cheese, the spicy pepper, and the al dente pasta is sure to please everyone at the table.
