 Hello ladies and gents this is the Viking telling you that today we are talking about 

CACIO E PEPE


Cacio e Pepe is a mouthwatering pasta dish that uses four ingredients, comes together in twenty minutes, and feeds your entire household. Before you know it, you'll be yelling "Dinner's ready!"


INGREDIENTS

  • 3/4 tsp salt 
  • 1/2 lb dry spaghetti 
  • 4 Tbsp salted butter, divided
  • 1 tsp coarsely ground black pepper plus more for garnish
  • 1 cup Parmesan, grated, plus more for garnish*

INSTRUCTIONS 

  1. In a large skillet bring 6 cups of water and 3/4 teaspoon of salt to a boil. Add the dry spaghetti and cook for two minutes less than the package directions call for.
  2. Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining the spaghetti. Place the spaghetti in a bowl and set it close to the stove to keep it warm.
  3. In the same pan you cooked the spaghetti, melt 2 tablespoons of butter with the black pepper over medium heat. Cook until fragrant.
  4. Add 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water to the pan and stir until a glossy sauce forms.
  5. Turn the heat down to low and add the spaghetti to the pan. Top with the grated parmesan and the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
  6. Use tongs to quickly mix the parmesan, butter, spaghetti, and pepper sauce until a creamy sauce forms. Serve immediately and garnish with additional pepper and parmesan cheese.

And as always have a chilled day from the Viking
