Our Pairing Suggestion
The decadent texture and saltiness of this Roman pasta find a foil in a light white with lively acidity. Look for a Frascati from the Lazio region.
Recipe: Tonnarelli with Pecorino and Black Pepper
- FAST
- VEGETARIAN
Ingredients
- 3/4 pound fresh egg tonnarelli, tagliarini or thin fettuccine
- 1 cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese (3 ounces), plus more for serving
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (1 1/2 ounces)
- 1/2 cup vegetable stock or low-sodium broth, warmed
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more for serving
- In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the tonnarelli, stirring, until al dente, about 6 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in a large, warmed pasta bowl, stir the 1 cup of Pecorino with the Parmesan, vegetable stock and pepper.
- Drain the tonnarelli thoroughly and add it to the bowl. Using 2 forks, toss the pasta until the sauce is creamy. Mound on plates and serve at once, passing more Pecorino and pepper at the table.
