  1. I'm laughing at the angry comments. It's a hack, thus not the authentic way of making something. So, tonight. I made this, but didn't use long pasta. I also used red pepper flakes, but I made it the way authentic cacio e pepe is made. No butter, no blender, just pasta, pepper, and water. Is mine authentic or is "every Italian is dying" because i used pepper flakes too?

  2. Classic Anglo-Saxon, convoluted, uncultured, unoptimized. Toast the pepper, pasta in a bowl, place the bowl on top of the water pot (off). Add some water: get some localized starch to emulsify. Add fine grated cheese and more water if needed. Mix mix and stay under 65C to avoid the mappazzone de li mortacci tua.
