Cacio E Pepe Pizza Recipe By Tasty

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Once the water starts to boil, add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti through a colander.
• Melt the butter in a medium pan over medium heat. Add the pepper and cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic, about 30 seconds.
• Add the spaghetti to the butter and use tongs to toss to coat. Add the Parmesan and 1 tablespoon of reserved pasta water and quickly toss to combine, adding more pasta water until the sauce becomes just creamy and clings to the noodles, about 1 minute.
• Remove the pan from the heat. Serve topped with more freshly ground black pepper and flaky sea salt.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Make the dough: Combine the flour, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in the warm water. Sprinkle the sugar and yeast over the water and let stand until bubbling, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour the olive oil into the well, then stir with a wooden spoon to make a shaggy dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, tightly cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• Make the pizza: One hour before baking, put a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, stretch the dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer the dough to a well-floured pizza peel or another inverted baking sheet. Dot with the ice and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Slide the pizza onto the hot stone. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the ice melts, 12 to 13 minutes.
• Transfer the pizza to a cutting board and cover with small spoonfuls of the ricotta. Sprinkle with the pecorino and pepper; drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil on top and season with salt.
