Cacio e pepe is a minimalist meal that provides maximum flavour: it literally means “cheese and pepper”. Here, I’ve added a spike of garlic and kimchi for a gorgeous glow-up – and it truly is exceptional. Don’t be deceived: this quick and easy pasta dish has hidden depths that never disappoint.

Simply delicious
I love cacio e pepe, make it quite often. I love kimchi, eat it all the time (often just as a snack:)). So the Asian twist of adding kimchi to cacio e pepe.. – what not to love, right?:) It’s quick, it’s easy and it tastes great – make it, eat it and be happy:)
Thank you, Marion:)
