HASTA LA PASTA
Boil the kettle. Fill a pot for the pasta with boiling water, add a pinch of salt, and place over a high heat. Once boiling rapidly, cook the pasta for 8-10 minutes until al dente. Drain on completion, reserving a cup of pasta water, and toss through some oil to prevent sticking.
WHEN THE PASTA IS READY
Return the pot to a medium heat. Add the Cream, the crushed black peppercorns (to taste) and the grated Mozzarella. Once starting to bubble, vigorously stir until the cheese is melted. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of pasta water until silky and smooth.
FINAL TOUCHES
When the sauce is done, add the cooked pasta and ½ the cheese ribbons. Toss until fully coated. Loosen with more pasta water if necessary. Cook for 1-2 minutes until warmed through. Season to taste.
A KICK OF FRESHNESS
In a salad bowl, add the balsamic vinegar (to taste), a drizzle of olive oil, and a sweetener of choice (to taste). Mix until the sweetener has fully dissolved. Add the rinsed green leaves, ½ the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and seasoning. Toss until fully coated.
PEPE NIGHT!
Dish up the creamy cacio e pepe and serve with the fresh salad on the side. Sprinkle over the remaining cheese ribbons, the remaining chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and the crispy onions. Buon appetito!
