White Truffle Cacio E Pepe Recipe

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and boil until al dente make sure to keep 1 cup (250ml) pasta water.

Step 2

Add the butter and olive oil to a large pan and melt the butter until it's sizzling then turn off the heat and add the white truffle oil.

Step 3

Drain the pasta and add it to the melted butter and oil. Add the grated cheese with a pinch of salt and a good grinding of pepper.

Step 4

Add around 1/4 of the reserved pasta water and toss the pasta with the cheese until it starts to melt and turns into a cheese sauce. If it's a little thick then add another splash of pasta water.

Step 5

Serve in big bowls with an extra few drops of truffle oil if desired (taste first it's strong).
