Cacio e Pepe Cheese Bowl
Cacio E Pepe is an Italian Pasta dish. "Cacio e Pepe" means Cheese & Pepper. So the dish mainly constitutes of only Pecorino Romano Cheese, Pepper & Pasta. I also made Parmesean cheese bowls in which you can serve the pasta. In the end I used Parmesean cheese & pepper to garnish the dish. It will surely make a wonderful lunch for your Dad on the Father's day.
