Pasta Cacio e Walnut | That Sounds So Good

I'm not saying this recipe is BETTER than the classic cacio e pepe, I just believe that two things can be good at the same time. Anyway, the cheese won't get all clumpy on you in this version ~~just saying~~

Grab your copy of That Sounds So Good!
This recipe can be found on page 38.

LOL the “if you don’t care for garlic, maybe unsubscribe?”

[AmandaCef]

“Asses in seats” is my new vibe when I’m cooking for a crowd lol

I have elderly friend (90years old) who cannot chew hard objects like walnuts.... But I knew she would love this.... so I put the walnuts in my food processor and ground the walnuts kept the recipe the same otherwise.... SHE LOVED IT!

[iamgiuseppec]

when she said Manchego I actually gasped. The editing was sooo spot on.

[katherineweigl]

Carla is the coolest cook and an even cooler mom. She makes me feel loved through the screen😭🥺

[nah]

The gasp after you said Manchego was chef's kiss editing. Excited to try this, my pecorino always gets stuck to my wooden spoon in big melty clumps when I make cacio

[yes-gmts]

Love that the phone call didn't feel produced, but rather natural: a wonderful reminder that we're often doing other things while we cook. 4:04

I am from Reggio Emilia (place where parm is made❤️🇮🇹) and even if I am a cacio e Pepe purist, I’d give this a try because it looks delicious -but I am gonna use pecorino, sorry Carla 🙈🙈🙈❤️

Something about this video just looks amazing. Idk if it's the camera angles or the lighting... or all of it... but the quality is fantastic.

[alanaferrone]

I’ve done cacio e pepe with a truffle manchego. It was amazing. The basis of this style of cooking is to use what you have on hand.

Lemme know if you also enjoy carbs and fat and fending off vampires with garlic

I picked up your book last week and, no lie, I was planning on making this tonight for dinner! This looks absolutely scrumptious. And the chili avocado caprese is a game changer; never thought of combining those flavors!

[PoochNYC]

Why, why, WHY did I watch this so late at night in bed? My stomach is growling and it's all I can think about now! I will definitely be trying this when I have a few days off from work 👍

[lindanot]

Carla your videos just make me happy and allow me to decompress after a long day. Also, I'm Italian and love this take on the Cacio e Pepe recipe! Love how so many recipes in the book are traditional but "spinned"!

[kendallgrace]

You know its going to be a great recipe when Carla’s top matches her creuset😆

[elainewilliams]

After watching this I immediately ordered the cookbook! It arrives tomorrow and I'm making it this week! That dish looks so good!

[brianchristian]

Made this for dinner last night! Along with the sheet pan chicken with chickpeas, you're two for two so far in this household.

[sergekills]

Pasta is the best dish for the evening! And have always struggled with clumps. Will try out the lower heat technique. Thank you, Carla! You are my favorite!

[ComfortableTool]

As an Italian, I'm offended. Except that I'm not Italian and I'm not offended and this looks great.

[startakako]

My husband with not a lot of cooking experience just made this tonight and it was SO GOOD! Thank you!!!!
