    I am an Italian and it is the first time that I have seen a “Cacio e Pepe” made that does not come from Italy, from an Italian video, really done as it should be, really made in an original way, but has very few views. On the other hand, when I see a lot of foreign videos that make a really terrible Cacio e Pepe or Carbonara (dishes that really don't deserve that name), those videos instead have a lot of views. I do not understand why. Bravo ! 👍 Ciao ! 🇮🇹 PS: I also saw your video of the Carbonara and I must say that your channel deserves many more views and many more subscribers ! The world sometimes really goes the other way around. Those who deserve receive less than those who do not deserve !

    This is one of my favorite dishes, and it’s only been recently that I found out it wasn’t supposed to have butter, oil, cream, etc. My husband makes this now the “proper” way, and we love it!
  • @lauriesproject
    Seriously, this is the best tutorial i've seen on making cacio e pepe. Well done!
  • @sudeepy1
    I’ve tried this so many times from other recipes, and this is the only version that works and has no clumps. Thank you!
  • @pamelawhite3887
    Every video, from this Chef provides a tip you may never have thought of....toasting the black pepper....Brilliant. Thanks again for giving me skills....
  • This is the perfect recipe and ratio of everything. So so good. I love your videos. Thank you
  • @techny1549
    Been making this dish for years until Social Media started the "Cacio E Pepe Trend" Definitely like your method on cooking this dish. 👌
  • I really appreciate you mentioning alternative ingredients for your recipes. I retired in Mexico and can't get many items. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

    That second cheese you showed was from North Shore Farms! That’s exactly the one I just used! My first time making this dish, never even have had it before. The only word that comes to mind is “Wonderful”. It was absolutely wonderful, want to make more again right now.
  • Pasta is my favorite "food group" and the reason why is lovely simple dishes like the one you made for us here. Thank you for sharing your methods and information.
  • I have a passion for cooking this type of food and its nice to see someone who does it as well as yourself. Keep bringing the videos brother, this channel is going to be massive one day
  • i just made this for the family... i used grana padano cheese. the cacio was brilliant but i think i went a little happy on the e pepe. black pepper overload.

    This is the second recipe I've made from your channel and I'm just amazed at how creamy it was and how much flavor came out! Really thankful for your channel. I'm becoming more and more confident in making authentic Italian dishes with your help. Can't wait to make this again and try others. :)
  • this looks perfect and I think I'm gonna try it. It has been on my radar for awhile and I love all the tips you've included, crazy how it tightens up so quickly. fresh pasta is alive, and should be served immediately as you've said, maybe this is why it's so exciting to cook
  • I love pecorino romano. One of my very fav cheeses and yes I spend the money for the Italian stuff! Oh that is so bad ass to hand crush the peppercorns and toast them in the pan! Well-salted pasta water is overlooked. It is an ingredient! Pure peasant food! That is a work of art. You tha dude!
