I LOVE Pecorino Romano cheese, similar “truly, madly, deeply” love.
We possess got a long history together together with nosotros cannot aid but to cherish i another.
To survive honest I cherish it, I dunno if it shares the same feelings for me. I incertitude it.
Anyhow, I dear pecorino cheese because it makes my rima oris pucker when I possess got a bite; it's thus salty together with sudden — I justice I must survive really a tabular array salt fiend, whenever I’m grating it I e'er cutting off a niggling chunk (okay, possibly a big chunk) together with consume it straight.
So when I start saw Food & Wine’s September encompass featuring a brilliant cacio e pepe pizza, equally i does, my start idea was “Oooh, thus difficult to attain exterior a nutrient styling studio pretty” (I mean, await at that beauty) followed yesteryear “Wait, cacio e pepe (a Roman dish amongst solely 3 ingredients — pecorino cheese, dark pepper, together with spaghetti) on a pizza?”, followed yesteryear “Maybe that’s besides much Pecorino?” (answer: no, there’s never besides much pecorino cheese ) together with and then “I wonder how that would survive on cauliflower crust? Does cauliflower pair good amongst pecorino cheese? And what nearly pepper?”
So many questions…
Well, I made the cacio e pepe pizza on a whim a brace of weeks agone inwards the cast of cauliflower breadsticks.
It was thus delicious I polished the whole affair off inwards i sitting. Spectacular.
It was really thus delicious I had to larn inwards 3 to a greater extent than times earlier I was really able to limit myself from eating it together with possess got a brace of decent pictures.
And fifty-fifty though my greyish wooden kitchen tabular array is the furthest call from a photography studio, it was a full stunner.
