Carbonara or Cacio e Pepe?

Cacio e Pepe, meaning "cheese and pepper," is an example of the simplicity of the Italian Cuisine. Made with just three ingredients—pecorino Romano cheese, freshly cracked black pepper, and pasta—it showcases the beauty of high-quality, minimal ingredients.

The sauce for carbonara is prepared in just a few minutes, like many other delicacies (think of cacio e pepe!). Just think that all you need is spiced guanciale cut into strips, a golden cream made with yolks (in our version), and plenty of freshly grated Pecorino Romano.
