An iconic dish of the ‘Eternal City’ Roma, cacio e pepe or pasta de pepe simply translates to cheese and pepper pasta. While this dish is definitely not as well known as other Roman classics like Spaghetti alla Carbonara, it is cheesy indulgence at its finest. Cacio e pepe proves you don’t need a long list of elaborate ingredients to create a sauce full of flavour. The traditional base for this sauce sees the inclusion of just 2 ingredients: black pepper and Pecorino Romano cheese. The result is a deceptively simplistic sauce packed with flavour, much like a stripped-back ‘mac n cheese’, but suitably more rustic and Italian in spirit. Cheese lovers, this recipe is for you!

Recipe video above. This is a traditional Italian pasta dish from Sicily, usually begun by cooking eggplant on the stove in a hefty amount of oil. I prefer roasting the eggplant - less oil plus the eggplant holds its shape better, especially when you roast at a high temp to caramelise the surface!Finishing with a good amount of fresh basil is traditional but even if you don't have any, there's other alternatives to add a touch of other flavour - such as fresh thyme, or extra dried herbs in the sauce.This is an excellent and satisfyingly "meaty" vegetarian main dish that will have even card-carrying carnivores asking for seconds!

Spaghetti alla chitarra - traditional italian home made pasta recipe
The recipe for Gricia (Pasta alla Gricia) is one of the oldest and simplest pasta recipes in Roman cuisine. It’s a great classic of Lazio cuisine and has a unique and surprising flavor.It’s the traditional dish of the Amatrice area. In fact some call it “Amatriciana Bianca” (White Amatriciana). This is because it shares all the ingredients with pasta all’amatriciana except the tomato.
This Pasta Amatriciana recipe is my rendition on classic Italian amatriciana sauce. Prepared with crispy pancetta, dried red pepper flakes, canned Italian tomatoes, and pecorino cheese, this flavorful pasta sauce packs some heat and comes together in less than 30 minutes! While bucatini or spaghetti is the traditional pasta choice for amatriciana, rigatoni is a great alternative that has quickly become my personal favorite. The deep ridges and large surface area allow the textured sauce to cling really well.
