    Each person gets a single speck of pepper and all the jarred Alfredo sauce they want.

    Thats the worst use of tongs ive seen, 10/10

    That does not look like Cacio e pepe. Did you use cream?

  4. JQuick72

    I would demolish that. Just needs some bread and butter.

    Disturbing lack of pepe, but honestly I’d smash this.

    Recipe:

    Standard cacio e pepe, with two changes:

    – I emulsify the sauce off-heat using an immersion blender, pepper and all. You get incredible, velvety texture.

    – I finish with a couple cubes of cold butter.

    Is the 8 servings in the room with us now?

    Cacio e pepe doesn’t have butter.. you made pasta al burro.. Dishes have names and cooking technics for a reason. You should say you made pasta with a cacio e pepe inspired sauce.

    Also, where is the pepper?

    Looks yummy but more like a macaroni cheese style sauce vs cacio e pepe

  10. Looks great! Did you use the method where you blend the cheese with a cornstarch slurry? I do that now, works so much better, f anyone who says ‘it’s not traditional’ whilst eating a broken greasy sauce

    There’s no way that will feed 8 people

  12. For all you virgins saying this is not traditional and shouldn’t be called a cacio e pepe.

    I’d like to point out that Luciano Monosilio, a Michelin starred Italian pasta chef, known as ‘the king of carbonara’ literally uses this method in his restaurant, he calls it ‘the restaurant style’ – and if you ate ate at his restaurant I guarantee you wouldn’t be complaining about it.
