Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe Kit

This classic pasta dish can trace its roots back to Ancient Rome, and Chef Nic’s modernized version tosses spaghetti with a rich, buttery sauce made with plenty of Pecorino Romano, Parmigiano-Reggiano, and black pepper. And garlic bread is included on the side! Pair with a glass of chardonnay or sauvignon blanc.

After chef Nic Bryon was laid off from his job at one of Tampa’s trendiest restaurants at the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, he teamed up with his brother Greg and translated his love for all things pasta into Pasta Packs. Each Pasta Pack includes everything you need to enjoy a handmade pasta experience in the comfort of your own home, from fresh handmade pasta to slow-cooked sauces to fresh proteins, each in their own sealed packs, along with step-by-step cooking instructions.

To Serve

• Pasta can remain frozen until ready to cook.
• Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. For best results, prepare pasta and butter at the same time.
• Meanwhile, heat a separate sauté pan on low heat. Open the Butter Pack with kitchen shears and add contents to the sauté pan. Melt the butter and black pepper, swirling until it becomes foamy and frothy.
• Open the Pasta Pack and add pasta to the boiling water, stirring often. Pasta will need to cook for 5-7 minutes (8-10 minutes, if frozen) or until al dente.
• After approx. 3-4 minutes (7-8 minutes, if frozen), check one of the noodles for al dente texture. When the pasta is al dente, use tongs or a slotted spoon to transfer pasta to the sauté pan. Try not to transfer too much water – a little is okay. Remove the pan from heat.
• Open the cheese pack and add to the pan as well, along with 2-4 tablespoons of pasta water. Gently blend right away, mixing and using the heat to melt the cheese. Add more pasta water as needed to make it creamier.
• Serve immediately – do not let the dish cool, as it is best enjoyed hot, gooey & cheesy.
• Once your desired flavor is achieved, use tongs or a slotted spoon to plate your pasta. Remember to twist & twirl for presentation.
• Take a picture to share with your friends and family. Remember to tag Pasta Packs on Instagram or Facebook. Enjoy!
