La pizza Cacio e Pepe cucinata col… ghiaccio!

pecorino romano cheese

🥗Healthier: parmesan cheese

💰Cheaper: grana padano

Parmesan offers a similar flavor profile at a lower cost.

mozzarella cheese

🥗Healthier: part-skim mozzarella

Ricotta is less expensive and can add creaminess.

Prepare pizza dough and let it rise until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.

Preheat the oven to its highest setting, typically around 500°F (260°C).

Roll out the pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

Transfer the rolled dough to a pizza peel or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Drizzle olive oil over the dough and sprinkle with salt and freshly cracked black pepper.

Spread a layer of mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough.

Grate pecorino romano cheese generously over the mozzarella layer.

Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden and crispy, about 8-10 minutes.

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly for a minute.

Sprinkle additional black pepper and more grated pecorino on top before serving.

Garnish with fresh basil leaves for added flavor.

Slice and serve immediately.
