Description

The traditional salt-and-pepper flavour of cacio e pepe is elevated with fresh rocket and salty capers in this beautiful weeknight pasta recipe.

Method

Step 1 of 4

Bring a large saucepan of water to the boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 minutes or until tender. Drain pasta, reserving ⅔ cup cooking liquid.

Step 2 of 4

Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add capers and 1 tsp black cracked pepper and cook, swirling, for 3 minutes or until butter begins to bubble. Add half of the reserved cooking liquid and bring back to a simmer. Add pasta and remaining cooking liquid to loosen. Reduce heat to low and add three-quarters of the parmesan, stirring and tossing to emulsify.

Step 3 of 4

Remove the pan from the heat and fold through half of the rocket.

Step 4 of 4

To serve, divide pasta among bowls. Top with remaining rocket and parmesan.
