A Budget-Friendly Pasta Dish, commonly known as Cacio e Pepe

It relies on just three core ingredients that are inexpensive and often found in a standard pantry.

Ingredients

  • Pasta: Use any dried pasta shape you have on hand.
  • Cheese: Pecorino Romano or Parmesan.
  • Black Pepper: Freshly cracked is best for the flavor profile.

The Basic Method

  1. Cook the pasta: Boil your pasta in salted water until al dente.
  2. Toast the pepper: While the pasta cooks, toast freshly cracked black pepper in a dry pan over medium heat until fragrant. Add a small splash of oil or butter if you like.
  3. Add the pasta: Once the pasta is done, transfer it directly to the pan with the pepper, using a slotted spoon. Add about a half-cup of the starchy pasta water to the pan.
  4. Emulsify: Gradually add the grated cheese while tossing the pasta vigorously. The starch in the water will combine with the cheese to create a creamy, silky sauce that coats the noodles.
  5. Add Colavita Pasta Sauce: To add a special twist to this simple dish, once plated, top your pasta with a dollop of Colavita pasta sauce!

Quick Homemade Pizza Recipe

Prep time: 15 minutes | Bake time: 12-15 minutes | Yields: One 12-inch pizza

Ingredients

For the Quick Dough:

  • 2 to 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or bread flour)
  • 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) instant yeast
  • 1 ½ tsp sugar
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ¾ cup warm water (about 105°F–110°F)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (plus extra for greasing)

For the Toppings:

  • ½ cup Colavita pizza sauce or marinara sauce
  • 1 ½ to 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Your choice of toppings (pepperoni, mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, fresh basil, etc.)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or pizza pan with olive oil, or dust it with a little cornmeal to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the Dough: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of the flour, the instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Add the warm water and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir well with a spoon until completely combined.
  3. Form the Dough Ball: Gradually stir in the remaining 1 to 1 ½ cups of flour until the dough forms a cohesive ball and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
  4. Knead: Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead it for 3 to 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic. If the dough feels too sticky, sprinkle on a tablespoon of flour at a time as you knead.
  5. Shape the Crust: Using your hands or a rolling pin, flatten and stretch the dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer the crust onto your prepared baking sheet and pinch the edges slightly to form a rim.
  6. Add Sauce and Toppings: Spread the Colavita pizza sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a small border around the edge. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then layer on your desired toppings.
  7. Bake: Bake at 450°F (230°C) for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbling.
  8. Slice and Serve: Let the pizza cool for 2 to 3 minutes before slicing so the cheese can set.
