As well as recommending the use of the original constituent ingredients, the website also said people should add butter and parmesan as part of the meal’s construction.

Infamia!

This is the kind of ridiculous thing that led Europeans to go to war with each other over thousands of years, and I thought that mindset was gone for good.

This story makes me think there's still some hope for them.

If only they would get that upset about the Chinese moving into their country.

Oh well. None of my never mind.

but this latest food-based fracas comes after Heinz decided to sell their version of spaghetti carbonara in a can

Heinz has already done it to the Brits.

Yeah, the Italians are really funny about their food.

I remember a tour guide almost gagging when she mentioned "all the things Americans put on pizza."

I tend to be philosophical about cultural peculiarities, but even I was a bit red-faced when my grandchildren asked for pizza at La Fenice in Venice.

The US Embassy will continue to make tea in the proper way – by microwaving it.

LOL!! It sounds like the Ambassador has a nice sense of the redonkuluss.

Cacio e Pepe (pronounced ca-cho ee pepe) is a classic Roman pasta dish, whose name translates to “cheese and pepper”. This simple, yet incredibly flavorful dish, is a staple of Roman cuisine and has gained global popularity for its creamy texture and rich taste.

Traditionally made with long pasta shapes like tonnarelli, bucatini, or spaghetti. Pecorino Romano, an aged sheep’s cheese, is the star ingredient. It provides the dish with its signature salty and tangy flavor, and is crucial for creating the creamy sauce. Freshly ground black pepper is essential. Toasting the pepper before adding it to the dish enhances its aromatic qualities and flavor profile.

The starchy water left over from cooking the pasta is key to creating a smooth, emulsified sauce.

While simple in terms of ingredients, mastering Cacio e Pepe requires some attention to detail to achieve the desired creamy, smooth sauce: Grate the cheese: Finely grate Pecorino Romano cheese. Cook the pasta: Boil the pasta in lightly salted water, cooking it until it is just under al dente. Reserve some of the starchy cooking water before draining. Toast the pepper: Toast freshly cracked black pepper in a dry pan until fragrant.

Create the sauce base: Add some of the reserved pasta water to the pan with the toasted pepper and simmer. Emulsify the cheese: Turn off the heat and gradually add the grated cheese, tossing vigorously to melt it and create a creamy sauce, adding more pasta water as needed to adjust consistency. Combine and serve: Add the cooked pasta to the pan and toss everything together, ensuring the pasta is well coated in the sauce. Serve immediately, topped with extra Pecorino Romano and freshly ground black pepper.

Tips for success Use high-quality ingredients, especially the Pecorino Romano cheese. Grate the cheese fresh for the best texture and melting consistency. Don’t be afraid to add extra pasta water if the sauce appears too thick or lumpy. Tossing the pasta and sauce vigorously helps in creating a smooth emulsion.

Cacio e Pepe is a testament to the power of simple, high-quality ingredients and careful technique in creating a truly delicious dish.

Mr Pica told the Times that so shocking was the move, run by Immediate Media, that it was akin to Italians taking whisky and adding a popular carbonated beverage of their own.
