for our last virtual cooking session apart, we made Cacio e Pepe. this pasta composes of four key ingredients - cheese, pasta, salt and pepper. beautifully minimal yet luxurious in flavour, it's probably my top choice for pasta! 

I discovered that using casarecce makes a good alternative to spaghetti, picking up the cheese and pepper sauce perfectly.

Ingredients:
1/4 cup grated pecorino cheese, extra for topping
10 turns of black papper
1 serving of spaghetti or buccatini (I used casarecce) 
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
egg yolk (optional)

Steps:
In a pan just wide enough to hold the pasta, place enough water to fill the pan 1 inch from the bottom. Season the water with salt and bring to a boil. Stir occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking. Cook until the water is reduced and coats the pasta with a thin lining. 
Toast black pepper in another pan until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
Toss cooked pasta in the pecorino cheese and olive oil.
Top with toasted black pepper, extra black pepper and more grated pecorino.
Separate an egg and adorn the dish with the yolk. 

Bon appetit!
