Bucatini cacio e pepe is one of those dishes that adds up to more than the sum of its parts. Roberto Marchetti, of Al Bric and Al Ciabot, includes cherry tomatoes, which isn't traditional, but does make the recipe less austere.

Our Pairing Suggestion

Tame the intense sharpness of the black and white pepper in this dish with a clean, tangy white from Italy's Frascati Superiore region.
