Cacio e Pepe

Ingredients

  • 1 package Melina’s pasta
  • 1 container Carolina Flavors Cacio e pepe butter
  • Kosher salt, pepper
  • Extra parmesan

Directions

Boil pasta per packet instructions. You will be finishing it in the sauce, so you want to make sure you cook it slightly under al dente. Reserve approximately a cup of pasta water before straining cooked pasta.

In a large sauté pan add half of cacio e pepe butter, heating on medium low to just start to melt the butter. Put the hot pasta directly into the pan and add a bit more of the cacio e pepe butter, stir to coat the pasta, adding a bit of the reserved pasta water if needed to help produce a sauce. Cook stirring almost constantly until liquid has reduced and pasta is nicely coated in the sauce. Adjust seasoning and add more parmesan if you like it extra cheesy.

Enjoy!
