This famous pasta recipe from Rome only uses 3 ingredients: pasta, black pepper and pecorino Romano – a tangy, salty sheep’s cheese. The cacio e pepe (cheese and pepper) sauce is made in the time it takes to cook the pasta, which in this episode is tonnarelli, a square type of spaghetti. Sabrina shows us how.

Quality ingredients! Great 🙂
Ask her where that "pecorino romano" has been made if you want/can 🙂
Another great pasta recipe, and another lady i would visit to dine with and romance, if she were not married, very beautful my lady
Sabrina's a grannie?
Dont use metal in teflon pan!
I love this recipe, so quick and easy, but the taste is perfect, and the more black pepper, the better, cannot have to much pepper for me.
I think there are better looking Cacio e Pepe recipes out there. ☹️ see Gennaro Contaldo or Antonio Carluccio.
dont'use any sort of oil cream or butter in this recipe! use whole black pepper seeds toasted in a pan than crushed 'cause smell and taste better then raped ones!
LIES!
My cheese keeps curdling and not melting in the water to thicken it… any ideas?
Nona would make this for me when I was little. You could always find a container of freshly grated Romano cheese in the fridge, but when she grated it she always added in fresh ground pepper, and I still do it today. It just compliments the Romano cheese so well.
Just got me some Pecorino Romano and I am going to make this tomorrow. Can't wait. It's so simple, it just has to be good 🙂
Sabrina sei bellisima!
I know Italian cuisine is more than just pasta and pizza, but man they're both the main dishes of Italy, So tasty. 😤😤😤
when I try this, always my cheese turns into balls.
Must be the low quality of the chesse.
Muito boa!!!!
Why I can not make a paste like that, it was always separated and not combined properly. What did I miss ?
Is this lady even a grannie?!?!
This version is a keeper. The most simple and most creamy of all the ones I've watched. Thank you for sharing.
1:55. Your way of saying "Buon Appetito", with that English accent, is delicious ! (like this delicious “Cacio e pepe”) 😉 👍
Hmmm…. I thought you were supposed to roast the pepper first? Then add pasta water, then the pasta and then the cheese/pasta water mixture?
replace the metal spoon with a wooden one because you scratch it terribly
Yum!
I make this all the time and didn't know it had an actual name!
Great cook. If she's your typical Roman grannie, wow.
That cheese with the pasta water looked so creamy!

She looks a few decades too young to be a ‘granny’
Molto bene👍🏻
