Cacio e pepe (Italian pronunciation: [ˈkaːtʃo e ˈpeːpe]) is a pasta dish from modern Roman cuisine. "Cacio e pepe" means "cheese and pepper" in several central Italian dialects. Though not exactly typical in cacio e pepe, we found that incorporating olive oil makes emulsifying the delicate cheese sauce a far less finicky process. Grating the cheese (as opposed to shredding) or using a Microplane is also key, as this allows the cheese to melt quickly. In a large pot, bring heavily salted water to a boil. The name is cacio e pepe: cheese and pepper.
