Description

This simple, yet incredibly flavorful pasta dish is a true classic of Roman cuisine. The combination of spicy pepper and creamy Pecorino Romano is simply unbeatable. I often make Cacio e Pepe when I need something quick and still want to put something special on the table. The preparation is child's play and succeeds in no time with the Thermomix®. Perfect for a cozy evening or as a quick lunch. If you like it a little richer, you can sprinkle some extra grated Pecorino on top.

Cook spaghetti

Thermomix® Setting

keine/Speed 1/Linkslauf Reverse

Add 300 g of spaghetti to the mixing bowl and cook according to the package instructions without temperature/speed 1/reverse. Note the cooking time on the package and it is best to set the timer.

Roast pepper

Gently roast 1 tsp of black pepper in a pan without oil until fragrant. Make sure it doesn't burn. Then deglaze with a cup of pasta water and set aside.

Prepare Pecorino cream

Finely grate 200 g Pecorino Romano and place in a bowl. Add a few tablespoons of hot pasta water and stir into a fine cream. Be careful with the amount of water, it should create a cream.

Finish cooking pasta and prepare sauce

As soon as the pasta has 3 minutes of cooking time left, add a ladle of pasta water to the pan with the roasted pepper. Lift the spaghetti into the pan with tongs. Cook the pasta in the pan for the remaining 3 minutes with minimal liquid. Add the stirred Pecorino and stir constantly to create a creamy sauce. Add more pasta water if necessary until the desired consistency is reached.
