About Cacio pepe
Cacio e Pepe is a classic Italian pasta dish originating from Rome, celebrated for its simplicity and bold flavor. The name, meaning "cheese and pepper," reflects its primary ingredients: Pecorino Romano cheese, freshly ground black pepper, and pasta, often spaghetti or tonnarelli. Traditionally, a starchy pasta water is used to create a creamy, cheese-based sauce without added butter or cream. While it's a source of carbohydrates from the pasta and protein from the cheese, Cacio e Pepe is moderately indulgent due to its sodium content and the richness of Pecorino Romano. It offers energy for active lifestyles but should be enjoyed in moderation. With minimal ingredients, it’s free of ultra-processed elements, appealing to those seeking wholesome, traditional recipes. For added nutrients, some variations include vegetables or whole-grain pasta, enhancing fiber and micronutrient content.
