How to make pasta cacio e pepe – recipe | Felicity Cloake's masterclass

A wonderfully simple and quick three-ingredient Roman dish of cheese, black pepper and pasta. It'll be clean plates all round

Dried pasta, which cooks in roughly 10-12 minutes, depending on its shape and your taste, isn't always the first thing I reach for when time is of the essence, but this Roman classic is so wonderfully simple, both in terms of ingredients and preparation, that it takes some beating. And if you think it's quick to make, wait until you see how fast it disappears.
