I borrowed this easy recipe from a magazine in the hospital lounge last week. I thought it sounded a lot like my favorite dish at The Olde Spaghetti Factory, Browned Butter and Mizithra Cheese.

How to Make CACIO E PEPE

Step-by-Step

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add pasta and cook according to package directions; drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking water. Set aside.
In another large pot or skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Cook until the butter starts to bubble, about 1 minute.
Add 3 cups Parmesan cheese, the reserved pasta water, the salt and pepper.
Add the cooked pasta and toss well to combine. Serve topped with additional grated Parmesan if desired.
