Cacio e Pepe

Perfectly cooked tonnarelli pasta twirled into an elegant nest presentation in a pristine white bowl, coated in a silky emulsion of aged Pecorino Romano cheese and starchy pasta water creating a creamy sauce without cream. Generously topped with coarsely cracked black pepper creating bold speckled pattern throughout the dish, with additional freshly grated Pecorino Romano cascading over the pasta. The sauce pools at the bottom creating glossy reflections. A masterclass in Roman simplicity using just three ingredients to create pure magic.
