Tuscan Organic Maccheroni: The Soft Heart of Cacio e Pepe

Who said Cacio e Pepe only goes with pici? Our Tuscan Organic Maccheroni, with their welcoming shape and bronze die, are perfect for capturing the delicious cream of our preparation, providing a full and satisfying bite. A rustic, organic recipe ready in minutes.

Ingredients for 4-5 people:

• 1 pack of Tuscan Organic Maccheroni (500 gr)

• 4 tablespoons of Pici Cacio e Pepe Mix

• Extra Virgin Olive Oil (or a knob of butter for extra creaminess)

• A little pasta cooking water (essential!)

• Optional: Freshly grated Pecorino Toscano to enhance the dish.

Method:

1. Cooking the Pasta: Immerse the Organic Maccheroni in boiling salted water. As it is artisanal pasta, check the cooking time to drain it perfectly al dente.

2. The Aromatic Base: While the pasta is cooking, put our Cacio e Pepe Mix with a couple of tablespoons of EVO oil in a large pan. Turn the heat to very low, just to slightly warm the pepper and spices, allowing the essential oils to be released.

3. The Secret of the Cream: Add a generous ladleful of pasta cooking water (rich in starch) to the pan with the mix. Stir until a fragrant emulsion is created.

4. Combining: Drain the maccheroni and pour them into the pan. Sauté over high heat, adding a splash more cooking water if necessary. The porous surface of the organic maccheroni will literally "hook" the cheese and pepper cream, creating a velvety result.

The finishing touch: Serve with an extra sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper for those who love strong flavours.

Why buy this combination? The Organic Maccheroni offer the assurance of healthy and nutritious Tuscan wheat, while the Cacio e Pepe Mix eliminates the difficulty of creating the perfect cream, guaranteeing an impeccable balance between the saltiness of the cheese and the kick of the pepper.
