What’s Inside
- Pecorino Romano cheese
- Black pepper
🍳
How to Serve
Warm the sauce gently in a wide pan over low heat — high heat can tighten a cheese-based sauce. Cook your pasta, reserve pasta water, and toss the drained pasta directly into the warmed sauce. Add pasta water a little at a time until every strand is coated.
📦
Storage & Freshness
Keep refrigerated and use within 5 days of opening. Reheat slowly over low heat, stirring and adding a splash of pasta water if the sauce thickens. Follow any storage guidance on Val’s jar label for best texture and flavor.
The Perfect Pasta Match
Cacio e Pepe is all about the pairing — a sturdy pasta shape and a sauce that clings. These are Val’s favorites for letting cheese and pepper shine.
