Cacio e Pepe Pasta Sauce Starter 2-Pack
Creamy, peppery, rich.
Pastacraft Cacio e Pepe Pasta Sauce Starter makes the classic Roman cheese-and-pepper pasta at home in minutes. Made with Parmesan, Romano and organic cracked black pepper, each resealable pouch holds a dry, concentrated sauce base that makes enough sauce for 1 lb of pasta (4–6 servings). Just whisk it with butter and starchy pasta water for a silky, freshly emulsified, scratch-quality sauce. The 2-pack makes 2 lb of pasta, or 8–12 servings.
Do as the Romans do.
Cacio e Pepe ("cheese and pepper") is one of Rome's most beloved pastas: simple, timeless and irresistibly savory. It's usually something you only get at a restaurant or make from scratch, because the sauce is emulsified fresh right before serving. Pastacraft does the hard part, so you get that luxuriously creamy, pepper-forward sauce with minimal effort.
Weeknight dinners, date night pasta, and cozy nights in.
- Busy weeknights: A real home-cooked dinner in the time it takes to boil pasta.
