Gluten-Free Cacio E Pepe

By McKenna Ruzga
Gluten-Free Cacio E Pepe
When you need a classic, comfort dish with minimal ingredients (you probably already have them on hand!), you can never go wrong with Cacio E Pepe. Translation "cheese and pepper" in Italian. It's basically grown-up mac n cheese - but completely gluten-free!

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 package Taste Republic Gluten-Free Linguini
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup finely grated Pecorino cheese
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 3/4 cup reserved pasta water

DIRECTIONS

  1. Cook Linguini according to package instructions. Reserve 3/4 cup pasta water before draining.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add black pepper and stir to combine.
  3. Add the reserved pasta water and bring to a boil. Add the remaining butter and cooked Linguini and toss to combine.
  4. Reduce heat and stir in Parmesan cheese until evenly coated.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in Pecorino cheese. Season with kosher salt to taste.
  6. Serve warm and enjoy!
