We just ate there a month ago and my husband I happened to split this. Divine. What was even more divine was my 3 year old’s buttered noodles. Seriously simple and beyond delicious. I just found your blog yesterday! Today I went to google any recipe that comes clue to Lupa’s and your blog came up. Love it!!

If we were to play a Chopped round in which I gave you (the only) five ingredients I have in my (not stocked) college apartment kitchen and you had to come up with a recipe for a late dinner…well, you just won! Thank you! (Any suggestions for some expired tofu, raspberry jam, and a few Blue Moons? My roommates and I are paaathetic!)

I love this simple recipe. I was introduced to it as a variation, with added asparagus and poached egg.

oh DUH. reason for using less water and oil is because i only used half a pound of angle hair, not the whole box! DOH.

Made this recipe once before with results that were not as amazing as this go around. What really helped was having a sous chef (thanks, boyfriend!). I didn’t use any of the butter and actually less olive oil and water all together. What helped was when my sous chef was tossing the pasta around and I added water and the cheese and pepper. The water turned into a sauce with the oil cheese and pepper and it became one delightful little nest of italian noodles.

we ate it with a poached egg on top of course. oh and some sauteed kale and a burrata/heirloom tomato salad. deb, can we do dinner sometime?!

A little late to the party, just had to say that I love this! Needed a meal I could throw together with what was on hand and this was perfect. I had to substitute linguine for spaghetti, and I added a pinch of crushed red pepper. This will definitely become a between-the-paychecks staple.

Hi Deb,

Wow there are a lot of comments on this post! I just wanted to tell you about the spaghetti cacio e pepe we had in Sydney last night, it was tossed and served out of a GIANT PECORINO ROMANO WHEEL! It was just sublime, thought you might appreciate.

LOVED THIS. Just made it for the first time. We were going to make plain pasta to toss some sautéed vegetables onto, but then I figured I'd do a simple pasta with a little somethin' extra to it. Your recipe comes up high in Google, and I trust your cooking, so whammo. PERFECT RESULTS. Thanks for posting this. It's going into our heavy rotation. (Also, my wife made your Lemon Yogurt Anything Cake, earlier today, and we had that for dessert. Nice way to finish.)
