Cacio e Pepe Pasta
Method
- Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and cook spaghetti according to packet instructions. When pasta is almost cooked carefully get a cup full of boiling cooking water into a jug or mug and set aside.
- When pasta is nearly ready, melt butter in a large pan over low heat. Once cooked, add drained pasta, reserved pasta water, grated cheeses and a generous grinding of black pepper (about a 1tsp) and season to taste with salt. Mix together gently until pasta is coated. Serve immediately.
More Tips
- Serve alongside a simple rocket salad.

Reheating Hollandaise or Béarnaise sauce?
Never microwave! These are fragile emulsions and will split. Reheat by gently whisking over a double boiler on low heat. If the emulsion begins to split, try whisking in a spoonful of warm water, never add more butter.
