Craving an authentic Roman classic? 🍝 Nothing beats a perfectly creamy, peppery Cacio e Pepe made right at home. The secret to elevating this 3-ingredient dish isn't complicated - it just requires the right peppercorn.
We’re using the Hong Spices Peppercorn Gift Set, featuring our Chivorn Black Peppercorns from Kampot, Cambodia. They bring a natural smoky, floral aroma that truly awakens the soul of the pasta. ✨
Here’s how to make it: 1️⃣ Boil your pasta in salted water until perfectly al dente. 2️⃣ Finely grate your favorite hard cheese (like Pecorino Romano or Parmesan) into a large bowl. 3️⃣ Freshly grind a generous amount of Hong Spices Kampot Black Peppercorns into the cheese and mix. 4️⃣ Add the drained hot pasta (let it cool slightly to 60-80°C so the cheese doesn't clump!) and toss gently. 5️⃣ Add a splash of olive oil and a ladle of starchy pasta water to emulsify everything into a glossy, smooth sauce. 6️⃣ Plate, top with more grated cheese, and finish with an extra sprinkle of freshly cracked black pepper.
Simple ingredients, extraordinary flavor. Grab your premium Kampot pepper gift set at the link in our bio! 🛒
