BBC fixes Cacio e Pepe recipe after Italian outcry

The BBC on Wednesday fixed a recipe for Cacio e Pepe on the food page of its website after a faulty previous version was called out by Claudio Pica, the head of the Rome and Lazio branch of the Fiepet-Confesercenti business association.
    The first version listed four ingredients for the traditional Roman dish – spaghetti, pepper, parmesan and butter.
    But the original recipe does not feature butter and requires pecorino cheese, not parmesan.
    The BBC amended its recipe, but it still included a tip that would be seen as heresy to Italian cooks, suggesting people struggling to get it right “try adding a slick of double cream to the mix”.
