Italians have reacted with fury after the good food website uploaded a recipe for kacio pepe that didn’t include the traditional ingredients. The dish was described as a speedy lunch using four simple ingredients: spaghetti, pepper, parmesan, and butter. It caused outrage. Top chefs in Rome wrote to the British embassy demanding that it be changed immediately to the traditional free ingredients of spaghetti, pepper, and pecarino. Italians are famously protective over their traditional recipes and mock foreigners for their interpretations of their dishes. They insist it’s not the same dish. The inclusion of butter and a different type of cheese dramatically changes it. They say good food argues that all they were trying to do was make a recipe that’s easy to use for home cooks using readily available ingredients in the UK. So, do Italians need to let it

  1. A recipe as a determined set of ingredients, taking them away you have a new dish.
    That's it with the Italians, just use a different name for the dish
