        It’s great for a quick lunch or as a midnight snack after a night out for sure. A nice, lazy dish without a lot of prep work or ingredients.

        You throw cheese to butter pasta? I thought that “pasta al burro” was just pasta, some butter and some herbs, no cheese.

      This classic variation of the dish is based on the original recipe used by Alfredo: nothing but fresh pasta, butter, and Parmigiano Reggiano.

      It is an American classic, no doubt about that.

      Edit: phrasing

        Wait what, that’s actually the dish? This is literally my depressive episode food because it has zero prep work.

        I would Ive guessed an actual recipe at least uses some cream and herbs to make it a bit saucier

          Making a good pecorino/parmesan emulsion is more difficult than you’d think. Cacio e Pepe is literally just pasta, pecorino, and cracked pepper but it’s extremely difficult to keep it from ending up a goopy mess, short of silking it with cornstarch.

          Check out Tasting History’s video on YouTube about it. The Americanized recipe for chicken Alfredo and the like are typically cream based, but the original recipe didn’t include it.

          You can add more water from the pot and more Parmigiano Reggiano, the sauce is going to be godly. If you use “canned parmesan” tho, it’s not going to taste good.
