You may be asking yourself, “What does that mean?” Well, cacio e pepe is a fancy Italian way of saying “cheese and pepper.” And as usual, the English language finds a way to makes things sound less impressive. Think about it. For example, the Mexican dish Carne Asada literally translates to grilled meat. Totally loses its flair once it becomes English. What English words do we have that sound cooler than any other language? I seriously could not think of any. All I know is titling this recipe “cheese and pepper arugula salad” sounded so boring and I just couldn’t do it. Granted, there isn’t much to this salad. But the components are stars and do make the simple arugula salad shine. So next time you are in the mood for a salad that sounds way fancier than it is… Boom! I got you covered!
