Cacio e pepe, the classic Italian dish, may seem straightforward, yet creating the perfect sauce is complex. Recent research introduces a revised recipe that swaps traditional pasta water for a mixture of powdered starch and water, which is gently heated until clear. This method helps avoid lumps. Once prepared, the sauce is blended with cheese and toasted black pepper before being combined with cooked pasta. This technique aims to produce a smoother sauce for those lacking experience, highlighted by humorous insights from researchers about the toll of frequent cheese consumption.
Cacio e pepe may seem simple with pasta, cheese, and pepper, but creating the perfect, lump-free sauce requires a scientific approach for success.
