Cacio e Pepe is a traditional Roman dish that emphasizes simplicity and quality ingredients, and this risotto variation adds a creamy texture with the use of Arborio rice.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. 1In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth over medium heat until simmering. Keep it warm on low heat.
  2. 2In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the Arborio rice and toast for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  3. 3Pour in 1 cup of the warm vegetable broth and stir until the liquid is mostly absorbed by the rice.
  4. 4Continue adding the broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently and allowing the rice to absorb the liquid before adding more. This should take about 18-20 minutes.
  5. 5Once the rice is creamy and al dente, remove the skillet from heat.
  6. 6Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and freshly cracked black pepper until well combined and creamy.
  7. 7Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to your liking.
  8. 8Let the risotto sit for a minute to thicken slightly before serving.
