Cacio e pepe translates to “cheese and pepper”. This is a classic Italian recipe uses only a few ingredients, but is rich in flavor. This recipe deters slightly from tradition by using truffle butter which has a nutty quality that pairs well with Romano cheese and black pepper. This dish also uses Barilla chickpea pasta, which has a wonderful al dente texture, and is made entirely from chickpeas.
