Cacio e pepe is one of my favorite Roman pasta preparations. It's insanely easy, and only requires that the quality of your ingredients be at an all-time high. Recently, I've begun experimenting with some flourishes. While most additions have proven unnecessary, sweet shredded butternut squash was a perfect compliment to the sharp, salty cheese. With a little butter and cream, my everyday Cacio e Pepe has gotten a lot more decadent.
