Cacio e pepe

And you can't skimp on some things like that.

But there's some dishes that are classic like that, and then there's some like the cacio e pepe, which everyone loves a cacio e pepe, but cacio e pepe is where we use way to make the sauce.

And so there's no butter in it, just like in Rome.

So the

[laughs]

I cacio e pepe.

I, I gotta call my tailor.

You made us so hungry.

It'll pair perfectly with, look.

Look at this Cacio Pepe.

You guys were talking about this this morning when they were setting up.

Now it is here.

Wow.

Cacio de pepe, which is a very, you know, the cream sauce with the pepper.

Mm-hmm.

Pepper.

Because I was like, "What the hell is going on here?"

That's funny.

"Why can't I find cacio de pepe?" And then, you know, I never had it the rest of the trip.

I was pissed off.

And as always, please drink responsibly.

[swoosh] Next up is a recipe for Calabrian chili hot wings with cacio e pepe ranch from Chef Gabe Bertaccini.

Gabe is an Italian chef you may know from Food Network, and this one came across my feed because I believe it was Chef Dina Moreno who had re-shared it.

And I gotta be honest, this recipe, like, stopped me in my tracks.

I just saw the video, and I was, like, drooling.

I'm like, "Oh my God, those look so good." Chef Gabe smokes the wings, and then he tosses them in this homemade glaze that he makes with Calabrian chili, honey, vinegar.

So tosses them up so they're nice and, like, saucy and glazed, and then he serves them with this cacio e pepe ranch, which has tons of Pecorino and Parmigiano cheese and a bunch of black pepper.

I am a sucker for a great chicken wing anyway, and so when I saw this, my mouth was watering.
