Spaghetti with cacio e pepe are one of the strongest dishes of the most authentic Roman tradition: grated pecorino and peppercorns, a recipe very simple but very tasty. This type of pasta became the ideal, quick and substantial meal that quickly spread not only throughout Lazio, but also in neighboring regions (especially Umbria and Abruzzo).
