Cacio e pepe
Cacio e Pepe is a classic Italian pasta dish that is simple, yet full of flavor. The dish is made with just a few ingredients - pasta, cheese, and pepper - and can be on the table in less than 30 minutes.
While the dish may be simple, the history of Cacio e Pepe is anything but. The origins of the dish are a bit of a mystery, with some food historians placing the dish in Rome, while others believe it originated in the countryside of central Italy.
What is known for sure is that Cacio e Pepe has been around for centuries. The dish was mentioned in a cookbook from the 15th century, and it is thought to be even older than that.
