Kio e Pepe peino is a sheep’s milk cheese but me and him we get along they have a lot of different sizes of spaghetti so some are thinner some are thicker yes uh you might want to go for the thicker one I’ve just yes
Yes this is going to be a great video we are reacting to a catchup paper made by Steven from notada cooking show I love this channel I love the way this guy makes this video and I hope I get to meet in one day let’s watch it together yeah that looks beautiful that
Looks creamy full of pepper like lot of pepper nice nice pasta and served on a chopping on a chopping board wow weird and it’s just strange nice and simple ingredient I didn’t see cream there yeah nice beautiful yeah I think we’ll make the C B the same way can’t wait to watch
It we we have a Footage yeah nice beautiful today we’re making one of the most requested dishes that I get a classic Roman Italian Dish it’s simp as hell it’s a simplicity at its best little bit tricky to do but if you can do It’s Tricky could be hard I agree but if you
Follow the steps you should be okay let’s go through this and I think we together with Stephen we can talk to you through it to make sure you never fail making caj your paper let’s learn the real way to do it before you kind of
Mess with it and take it and let’s do it let’s do it come on mainly two things Kio e Pepe what’s CIO in this case peino Romano Pino Romano is so important it’s full of flavors some people don’t like to have the strong flavor of peino so
You can mix it with Paran orano I’ve been to Rome finding the best CA baby and I’ve discovered this amazing small place um where they do take away pastas and they do actually half parano half peino because clients and tourist was saying Pino is too strong so it
Could be a good thing for you to do if you find the picino being too strong you mix it with parano and peino but the Pino must be there I do 100% picino because peino I love it what they use traditionally in kacha Pepe peino is a sheep’s milk cheese like its name
Suggest is a super fine grade of it you could throw this in the blender you could use a box grater and then just use one of the these sides the ones where so important we say now to finally grad it now if you use see using fine one that’s
What you need if you use the other one where you kind of shred it that’s probably when you’re making the first mistake when you fail C your paper is because of this small detail you need to have fine fine grated peino cheese so use thater or blend it or just buy it
Grade it from the shop but when you have like a little um like kind of shredded or small like long lines of Pino or perano that’s when I’m starting to worry about you and why is not turning out the way it should turn out like the holes
Punch outward and you’ll get a super fine grate like that super fine that’s the way well done Stephen I do the same and I’ve got always have PE in my house I keep St in the freezer uh and last for a long time in the freezer we’re just
Going to need a cup or two of it you could use the more the better parmesan if you don’t have this but peino is the way to go in my opin or you can mix it but me and him we get along if we have a lunch together we’re going to make kup
Paper for sure and we use lots of Pino is we’re just going to put some pasta water in here and that’s going to sort of create this like little that’s beautiful that’s a beautiful cream that’s a beautiful cream that will help you to make the C paper the right
Way oh my baby son wants cure paper Al you’re too small you can’t have casual paper yet you can’t eat pasta yet Papa you have to have milk bomb that we throw in the pasta while it’s cooking in the pasta water with peppercorns the other main ingredient is these pepper corns
These are teich cherry peppers a lot now yeah people focus on remember Alex the Alex the cooking guy and him are talking about the pepper it is important to have pepper but at the same time I don’t want you to stress too much I don’t want the
Pepper to turn you off okay it is important to find a very good pepper um but whatever black pepper you find at the shop it’s fine okay of course higher quality pepper helps but I will focus more on the Pino people might make this not pay too much attention to the pepper
Corns but if you’re using the three ground bottles of peppercorn you might as well just not make this is true I’m put every single detail counts uh but at the same time I believe the picino is the main ingredient here the pepper needs to be yeah pepper corn and you
Kind of um break on the on the spot but you don’t need to spend too much money for the pepper corn if you can you do it otherwise get nice pepper corn from the supermarket into our Pepper Mill and that’s what we’re going to use to make
This dish yeah great Pepper Mill put in there put on top so some Peppa will be toasted and some will be added fresh get your favorite brand the spaghetti H the brain is that they have a lot of different sizes of spaghetti so some are thinner some are thicker yes please say
It the thicker spaghetti is what we want say it uh you might want to go for the thicker one I’ve just yes yes yes yes got some regular spaghetti and that’s what I’m going to you go the regular spaghetti unfortunately but maybe you from this during Co I’m not
Saying anything but a thick spaghetti see it’s the way to go I’m not going to put oil contrary to popular belief there’s no butter there’s no cream there’s no butter no cream this is all you’re going to need to make this pasta what it is it’s just how you put it
Together that’s going to make it beautiful and just in case I need it what is he doing what is that I’ve got mouth cam just so I can show you a different perspector that’s mad all right so here we have it is important to toast um very
Very important I usually to make a faster I actually crack the pepper in the pan and I um I just kind of get a TOS the The Cracked Pepper but this is a a good way to do It right okay that’s what he’s doing okay taking this the next level wow flavor that you getting there it’s incredible yeah that’s what I normally do um instead of toasting the pepper corn straight I go straight to That the spaghetti normally takes about 10 minutes I would say the flavors in the kitchen must be Theine so that pasta water now is going to help to get the creamy the creamy it’s it’s the second most important part the pasta water and the amount you use in order to get the creamy C paper okay the cheese is very important yes the second most important part is the pasta
Water so let’s see how it’s going to do it now the pasta water gets the flavors um what he’s going to do now is going to add the spaghetti in there I’m pretty sure it’s do that so the spaghetti will get the flavors from the pepper and at
The same time we red we will release the Starch so pegorino lots of Pino I’m happy to see that is putting pasta water in there you don’t want this to be a runny sauce even though I did watch babish doing a no fail cash of paper and his sauce was very runny and it worked
But that’s cheating to make a propa casa paper like this you add a little bit of water I think he’s using um like one l l how you call it l but it’s not going to be runny I believe you see no it’s creamy it’s creamy it’s not runny that’s what you
Want it’s like a Gelato you can put the pasta in there for like let’s say you got 3 minutes left 2 minutes left of cooking uh you transfer the pasta into the pan maybe get a bigger pen if it helps especially if you cook for more people I
Use a 32 CM pen because I like to cook half kilo pass at the time for my family so what’s happening now the starches are releasing into the water and you making the water more creamier if I can say that so it’s already a little bit creamy when you add the
Cheese it will be super creamy we’re about to show you I say we because I feel like like I’m in the kitchen with him I like him and it’s important you don’t Ry the pasta that’s why he added more water to make sure it’s nice and moist tossing I love tossing very
Important did you notice how the pasta was already kind of creamy look when it toss look watch watch see that’s a very important step you can’t miss watch it again Watch see that you can see that there’s a little bit of cream in there created by the pasta water that’s why the second
Important part is very important don’t be scared to add more Water now turn off the heat important part the heat is off wait about 20 seconds 30 seconds before you have the cheese so during those 20 30 seconds keep tossing keep moving the past around and and now now you have the cheese and look what’s Happening off the stove of course the stove is not on look how creamy see do you see the amount of water in there do you see the amount of water that is still in the pan look what it does can you see the drops that’s the
Water that is helping the water will get absorbed by the the pasta okay but the cheese will stay there the cream will stay there so if you have a little bit more water don’t be scared because your pasta will absorb not a huge amount of water you don’t want to have pasta
Swimming in water but if you have let’s say a quarter of a a mug of of water in there it’s fine half a mug okay depends how much P you use but you want that much water to allow you to uh spread the cheese all over the spaghetti I hope it
Makes sense it is hard to explain it is hard to Explain it is the thing I never understood about Steven why does he put the food on The Chopping board um I never asked the question I’m asking now but maybe you know guys maybe Stephen can reply and tell me why it looks nice so maybe it’s it’s a looking
Thing because it does look nice to take a photo in the video on The Chopping board yeah nice ni it’s beautiful look how creamy it is say it’s creamy you don’t want strings you want creamy creamy creamy creamy n nice wow super creamy oh he’s eating on The Chopping board okay that’s interesting
That’s new that’s absolutely delicious really delicious I could have afforded to add more pasta water say he not scared of pasta water don’t be scared of pasta water pasta water is your best friend for this recipe same for carbona same for pastaa pasta water for many
Many pastas most of pastas you need the pasta water don’t be scared because the the pasta the actual pasta absorbs the water and again to not go crazy they use a crazy amount of water but the water will disappear because it gets absorbed by the pasta the pasta is very thirsty
Before I PL it after sitting and cooling down with the photo shoot which takes a few minutes it does take time it does take time so if it’s not creamy anymore it’s not because of him he did a great job is because he needs to take photos for you
Guys so you can watch the videos and look at the photo and yeah it tightens up and it’s not as creamy which you can see right here but you’re not going to make a photo shoot so if you can nail the creaminess in the pan you’re likely going to nail it in the
Plate as well just don’t do photo shoots like I do using those whole pepper corns toasting them you actually ate the whole thing there’s nothing left really brings out this Aroma and this flavor mixed with that peino cheese that is what makes a kacho Pepe so delicious he made
A fantastic job brilliant look he’s eating it so much he loves it great guy great Channel um if you never seen this channel before make sure you go and see it and subscribe um I hope I get to meet him one day um and cook with him he’s

To show you the right way he’s American and he did k your paper better than a Roman did it very well you even focus on the peppercorn so much me I crazy I love it you understand details make everything better in life details small details make your life better and this

These two guys have made me a better cook!
How many pasta dishes are there in Italian cuisine, I only ask because normally there’s only 5 or so pasta dishes shown.
Pasta water adds a lot of saltiness to the pasta
Love your reaction Vincenzo! Your channel and Steve’s are my go to spots for authentic recipes and hints to make the dish perfect, so it was great to see you react to him. Thanks for helping me introduce Italian tradition into my household. Sei il migliore!
Vincenzo please please make a Gricia recipe!!!!
I’ve heard you complain about the yellow color of the spaghetti being garbage
Great reaction Vincenzo 👏🍽…would be awesome if you guys did a collaboration one day!
Some Lemmon zest and some garlic
Merry Christmas 🎉🎉
I use more parm reggiano than pecorino romano because pecorino is literally 4x the cost of parm around here and that's if you can even find it.
I’m so glad you did this video, I’ve been mentioning him in your comments from time to time, he makes so many great dishes. I would love to see you guy’s cook together, MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!!!! ❤️
😎👍🏻👍🏻
I never understood my "strings" problem and I actually think is that stringy grating… I actually never thought It could be so trascendent in the end result
You two are the reason I’m cooking how I do now. Found both of you during Covid and haven’t looked back since. He’s a fellow NYer and provided a nice twist on a lot of dishes but for the Roman staples he doesn’t stray from the original.
Pretty sure Steven has said that the only reason he "plates" on the chopping board is…. because with his set up in his house it's the best way for him to get better pictures and lighting, lol.
Steven is by miles the best person in the US to teach americans anything about italian food. His Carbonara videos are absolutely golden, one could almost think, you are twins 🙂 He adores the italian cuisine so much. Thanks for the video, Vincenzo <3 hope you had a beautiful christmas, Sir!
Glad you recommended "Not Another Cooking Show". Will definitely check it out, especially since it is Vincenzo approved. And, will try this simple recipe as it looked delicious. But, will do half pecorino and half Parmesano R. I am American, so have to take baby steps before I go full on sheep cheese. On second thought, probably should blame my husband for the pecorino caution, I love feta (he doesn't) so I would probably love pecorino 100% in Cacio E Pepe. Great review!
Steve loves to make his dishes with a great presentation and pays attention to lighting and everything. Me and my kids all watch his videos (and yours) very frequently, gets them excited about cooking and eating!
Small details make your life better! For sure. Happy New Year
Cacio E Pepe is the most underwhelming of the 4 famous Roman pastas in my humble opinion. Carbonara is the King, and Amatriciana and Pasta Alla Gricia are really good, but Cacio E Pepe is kinda…………………eh. That's just me though. Maybe part of it is that I've had Carbonara my whole life and I had my first Cacio E Pepe about 8 years ago. Maybe?
it lights up my heart to see your passion for italian cuisine. i loved this video because you really appreciated what a good job he did!
cacio e pepe time. but how do I know if the cheese is good?
I have gotten better at making a cheese sauce or mix or (cream?) with the grated cheese bits, it's just that my arm gets too tired from trying to grate enough cheese, & lot of times it's still not enough cheese. So I thought about getting an electric cheese grater which would save lives 🙂 (bein' a goof about the saving lives part), but my Mom accidentally got a non-electric crank cheese grater, but unfortunately doesn't have a grater for bits, so I end up having to go back to the regular cheese grater. I still use the crank one for the longer/bigger gratings for putting on top of the food. I've done the cheese cream treatment on Fettucine Alfredo, Tortellini (I like Spinach Tortellini), & Ravioli.
Completely unrelated to the vid but what's the difference between Pecorino Romano and Pecorino Tuscano in terms of taste?
Make sure the black pepper corns is pepper. Cheap pepper is sometimes papaya seeds.
I only have Romano in my house. I prefer it.
You guys should do a video together! Both of you guys are my YouTube hero’s!
For my part, I reject pepper mills. The right way is to use a mortar! Explanation: the aromatic ingredients don't stuck in the machinery and you have not to use – or to waste – the residues in the machinery which have already lost their aroma.
Perfecto….Aloha
I've followed not another cooking show for a couple years now and he has passed along some fantastic dishes. Thanks for assessing his process. Much love to you and merry Christmas to you and yours ✝️
Your videos and Not Another Cooking Show's taught me how to make proper pasta. Cheers to you both.
Buon Natale everyone. 🎉 Pastas are life. 🍝🍷😚👌
Maybe it's the colour balance in post production, or my admittedly colour-blind eyes, but the pasta he showed at the start looked orange, like teflon-extruded Barilla. The stuff he put in the put looked more pale and rough like bronze cut La Molisana or de Cecco. I know which I'd prefer.
Hey Vincenzo I think I watched a video saying adding chicken to a pasta dish is a cardinal sin?
But I want to ask, could you please make a video of your take in chicken fettucine alfredo?
Great job ❤ One of the rare times a non Italian nails a recipe. Double great job since I never succeded in making a c et peppe, outstanding ❤
I'm 70 years old, when I watch kids in their late 30's like this kid, black bags under his eyes, stress written all over his disheveled unshaven face, no heat in his house having to have to wear a wool hat and a winter sweater indoors, hunched back with possible spinal problems, well-ll my life just got better being healthy, zero aches and pains and zero stress….and no baggage!
He puts on the chopping board so he can take a photo and put in his cook book if he hasn’t done it already,he does to all his recipes .plus he stabs the board with knife
My problem is that I just cannot grate it finely enough. The normal box grater small holes still don't grate fine enough. The side with the spiky texture has a more fine grate but it tend to break off big chunks cheese because it grabs on the cheese so strongly.
