Cacio e pepe is simple but not easy, although delicious when you nail the technique, and trust me, it’s all technique. It’s the holy union of spaghetti, cheese, black pepper, and maybe some butter or oil, with pasta water to bring it all together. I really think being able to nail a proper cacio e pepe will make you a better cook.
My go to is a simply cooked protein, a simply cooked veggie, and a carb. Season all 3 of these however you like, Mexican spiced, Asian sauced, just salt and pepper will do well in a pinch.
Examples: pan-fried chicken thighs, asparagus, and rice.
-Baked salmon, sautéed brussel sprouts, and bread
-Ground beef, and veggie stir-fry with rice
Over easy eggs and caramelized onion over day old rice is some of my favorite comfort food. Or garlic rice and eggs. Maybe some red hot dogs and banana ketchup on the side if I have 'em.
