Description

The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. To make Roman pasta, choose high-quality pasta and follow all the cooking instructions properly. The dish is actually very simple, requiring only pasta, cheese, butter, pepper, and a little free time. Romans typically prepare this pasta with Pecorino Romano or Caciocavallo cheese, but it's acceptable to substitute other similar cheeses—semi-hard or hard varieties. The finished dish can now be served.
