what should i make for dinner?

Interesting. When I tried this recipe I wasn't so happy, or maybe I just did it wrong? In fact, I think its extremely hard to make cacio e pepe well, even if its only few ingredients. It's easy to get cheese clumpy if its too hot or too watery if its too much pasta water :/
I’ve definitely messed it up a few times. But I must have made it 50+ times and it’s practically always perfect now. I think the advice to use a fine grater might be key? I use a lemon zester to get it really fine.

I also follow the advice of this recipe to put less than half of the water in to start with, then all the cheese, then add water bit by bit until I get the texture I want. Makes it less likely to add too much at once.

I did some more research after failing many times and wrote it down. My reference was a diner in Soho, London, where I realised that I am doing it completely wrong. I agree with the grating, and I find heat extremely important.https://lindyrecipe.com/main/cacio-e-pepe-easiest-pasta-that-is-hard-to-master/ …
