[@christinecreek3362]

Have attempted to make this dish, several times using different recipes and techniques, all have resulted in a clumpy, lumpy, though tasty dish. My daughter recommended this version, what a revelation. I'm still on a high from creating a perfect cacio e pepe. I've already forwarded this version to my friends. It was perfect

[@TheReagorBrothers]

I’ve had the same problem with mine. What did he put in with the pepper and water? I noticed he took it out later.

[@ericpalacios920]

@@TheReagorBrothers I think the secret is cooking the pasta like a risotto. You cook it like 60% of the way in a big pot then transfer it to a pan where you can just keep it wet enough with pasta water from the big pot to keep cooking (like in the vid here). That way, there's enough starch concentrated in your pan for it the cheese "grab" onto as opposed to clumping. Fat such as butter and olive oil help the cheese avoid clumping but unfortunately this is not traditional. Every time I've skipped the "risotto" style cooking of the pasta , I've gotten instant gluey clumps at pathetically lukewarm pasta temperatures. On the other hand, I've seen several videos of Italian chefs being quite reckless with this dish and somehow still achieving miraculous results (not reducing pasta water like crazy, using very hot pasta, grating the cheese rather coarsely). This I can't wrap my head around!

[@ericpalacios920]

@@TheReagorBrothers also the things he added were pecorino rinds, just for the flavor boost. These probably don't help the trickiness of cooking much. I imagine they might a help tiny bit though because they're obviously getting so hot that they turn gluey, which makes the cheese release it's fat. Fat helps the grated cheese emulsify so there's that. Definitely not a necessary step though

[@Voetballen007b]

Here is the written step-by-step recipe that I've made for myself. Maybe it will help others as well. 100g spaghetti, 70g pecorino , 30g Parmezan, 8g Pepper, Salt Throw a pan on the fire to cook the pasta in Throw a good pinch of salt in the water Throw the pasta in hot seasoned water Throw pepper in pestle and mortar grinding to a variable grind (Bigger and smaller pieces of pepper) Throw 3/4 pepper in a pan with high sides (to be able to toss the pasta later on) Heat the paper without burning it Add 2 ladles of cooking liquid (optional add the rind of the cheese to the pan) Low heat for 3 minutes Finely grind the cheese 6 minutes after the pasta has cooked at it to the pan Treat the pasta like a risotto Add a ladle of starchy water and keep shaking the pasta Cook for 4 minutes more all while shaking from time to time Remove the rinds Toss the spaghetti, you should hear a slapping sound (if too liquidy cook down a bit more) (we are 1 minute away from the pasta being done) add 3/4th of the cheese bit by bit all while tossing constantly add again just a little starchy water Add 1/2 of the remaining cheese Take the spaghetti and plate it in a nest toss the rest of the cheese on top, *give it a taste and see if you add the last of the pepper He said to use 3/4th of the pepper, but he never says in the video when to use the other 1/4. I would think he adds it at the end: see * in my final step, but he never actually says anything about this.

[@giovannispinotti]

Most Michelin Starred Chefs overblow simple traditional Italian recipes with pretentious, pompous, bloated amounts of expensive ingredients and plush mise-en-place that need 5 sous-chef to finish properly. Chef Simone here demonstrate what a classic Italian dish is, very few basic ingredients cooked with razor sharp no-nonsense technique to bring out all the best flavors of already fantastic ingredients. Simple but not simple, to cook an "easy" pasta to perfection needs executing the details to a very high level. With no frills whatsoever, straight to the point, and a tasty scarpetta in it. But most of all, fully respecting the tradition, as a traditional dish owes to the culture of its taste in a way that is ancestral and cannot be rewritten. Kudos to the chef.

[@65fhd4d6h5]

I mean, the pasta and cheeses he used looked pretty expensive to me.

[@mikeschilling3933]

A valid point, but a very traditional cacio e pepe would have only pecorino for the cheese. Parmesan is an unnecessary and untraditional addition.

[@smallwonder4465]

@@mikeschilling3933 Many top chefs use parmigiano to temper the bold taste of pecorino. Lemon zest is another ingredient that is occasionaly added in the same manner as a finishing salt. It is perfectly acceptable to break tradition if the result is a harmonius one. The problem with dishes like this is that the majority of "experts" do not have even a basic understanding of traditional method.

Wait, that thing is like a €90k watch isn't it?

[@Lochlanist]

This comment fascinated me so I wanna ask something. I've always had a interest in watches but have never really learnt much at all about them so I'm assuming my question is gonna be laughable to you. But how did you tell not only the make but the exact watch from the side quick glances in this video. What were you looking for or identifying. Is it something you can explain or quiet instinctive where your brain picks up on subtle variations and you know. I ask this because I can't fathom it with watches but I'm really into bikes (Superbikes) , I can spot and name a bike from far in the distance from most angles including just their headlights at times from a distance and I can even tell at times what bike it is from the sound of its engine. This is something I didn't work towards but growing up being really into bikes it's a skill that one day when I heard a bike my mind would be like hay it's that and when it rode past it was that or I saw one from far and my mind was like hay it's that and when it came closer it was that. It's a skill I can't really explain or pass on because how do you explain the pitch of a engine or the subtle curve or materiality on a bike. Just wondering if it is similar.

[@tntmofo]

Haha I know right! I thought I was the only one who noticed.

[@vaporz109]

He might have the 5168 cuz it's a little bigger (which is approx 35k), but if it's the original you can get one for 18 - 20k USD. Most single guys with a decent job in their mid-30s and working in a first-tier city could get one if they saved up for a year. But you're right, he is identified as a Michelin starred chef in the title so he must be a good chef as well:)

[@aypues]

This one turned out great! Failed on first attempt with another chef. I used Bucatini. Used the large saucier pan and flipped it and waited til it made that sound he was demonstrating. Then added the cheese slowly (off heat) while flipping to incorporate. Added just a little more pasta water as his seemed saucier. You need to use a big amount of cheese to get the right consistency. Now I know why people love this. Very simple to make once you nail the technique

[@TomSleeUK]

Another way of doing it if you're struggling, watch Canale13 YT video. He's an Italian chef, can't get more authentic than that. Anyway, just after you add ladle of starchy water to the pepper, add a tiny bit to your bowl of grated pecorino and reggiano, use a silicone pastry scraper/spatula to knead or fold and push the cheese with the water until its homogeneous, doesn't matter how runny or dry it is but should roughly be a paste. After your pasta is added and infused with the pepper and water for a few minutes, take off the heat, spatula the paste into the pasta then use kitchen tongs if you have them. I don't so I use pasta tongs to stir and agitate the cheese paste in the pasta until it essentially dissolves into the water then hold the pan away from the stove to give you more room and and roll the pasta by doing what he does in the video. You can also do this method with carbonara. In a bowl grate the cheeses, crack the pepper, add the yolks. Don't add water though. Knead with the spatula until its a paste then add to your pasta and pancetta. This is also on Canale13 YT channel. Credit to Simone for using the correct ingredients, sticking to the Romano authentic recipe. The method varies per person and doesn't really matter too much.

[@Xiongfxs]

Tom I have just tried to put the pasta water into a bowl with finely grated pecorino. And I got my usual result again. Only salty water with ugly cheese clumps. What was wrong? I have seen the cheese paste done so effortlessly I can not believe I have messed up again...

[@smallwonder4465]

@@Xiongfxs I think maybe you added too much water all at once. Add several tablespoons and then gradually add more as required.

[@MrMooseMusic]

I always struggle with C&P. Sometimes I get the consistency of the sauce just right, and sometimes it's a clumpy mess. Deceptively simple but when done right - my god... ❤️

[@jpvillalobos25]

Add pasta water when you have clumps. That's the trick. Also, add the cheese slowly, don't add it all at once. Add, mix, if you have clubs, add a bit of water, mix, then add more cheese. That's the trick.

[@elliottlovotti]

Try making a pecorino "paste" instead of adding the pecorino directly into the pasta. Simply add in a small quantity of the pasta water to your grated pecorino romano and mix until it forms a solid; don't add too much water, you want it to be able to hold itself together. Also, wait a few moments for the pasta to cool off a bit once you take it out of the boiling water. A trick to make your cacio e pepe more creamy would be to boil your pasta in as little water as possible, increasing the starch content of the water. Hopefully this helps a bit. Buona fortuna!

[@MrMooseMusic]

@@elliottlovotti This I have to try, thank you!

[@lilflipperton]

When you add the cheese take it off the heat and sauté.

[@toploz_jr5597]

All those people are wrong. The reason you get clumps is because the temperature is too high and it causes the cheese to melt and the water to split from the fat and that's the reason you only get it "sometimes" i can bet on it. The only way is to wait 30 seconds or more when you strain the pasta and you are good to go. Making a paste will surely help but if the temperature is too high it will be no good anyway

[@Mark-nm9sm]

Tried it just now but in a hurry so more room for mistakes. Take notes ( i will too ) so that we can reach his level 1) I would suggest you put just enough water to boil them so that it is more starchy , if you use too much water the starch in the pasta will be very diluted and thats a no no ( more starch , more saucy). 2) Try not to use a flat frying pan 3) Take them out as soon as they become al dente so that they can keep cooking later on. 4) I got rly confused about the temperatures and the cheese did not incorporate with the sauce and i ended up with big lumps of cheese SO: medium - low heat , Stir constantly , first goes the water 2-3 ladles of pasta water ( add more if needed , treat it like a rissoto like in the video ) then add a lot of cheese and spread it around . You want that bad boy to marry the cheese and the pepper and have babies. 5) 100% EAT THIS WITH A BAGGUETE , best combo ever ( or garlic bread ( fuck yeah ) )
