#257 The Case of Cacio e Pepe

T his recipe is the simplest of the simple and yet it feels decadent to me. Posh even!   enough spaghetti for 2 2 tablespoons vegan butter 1 teaspoon coarsely grated black peppercorns (about 50 turns of the grater) plus a little more pepper to grate on top 3/8 cup vegan Parmesan (1/4 cup grated) salt   Cook the spaghetti. In the meantime, toast the pepper in a pot on medium-low heat for about 30 seconds or until aromatic.   Swirl in the butter and melt it slowly. Do not brown. You can turn the heat right off when it's ready. Reserve 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.   When the spaghetti is just about al dente, pour 1/2 cup of the reserved pasta water into the butter mixture. Then drain the spaghetti and toss it in. Raise the heat to medium-high and mix vigorously with tongs. Stir in the grated Parmesan and more pasta water, if needed, to create a creamy sauce. Salt to taste. Plate. Grate the rest of the cheese and some additional pepper on top. Serves 2. ♥...
