Cacho y Pepe con Granchi


The original recipe calls for spaghetti or tagliolini pasta but since I am incorporating crab meat, I will be using fettuccini. Cacho y Pepe consist of a few ingredients namely, pecorino or parmesan cheese, water from the boiling pasta, a bit of pepper and olive oil and of course, the pasta itself.

Ingredients:
  fettuccini pasta
  grated parmesan or pecorino cheese
  black pepper
  olive oil
  crab meat (1 cup)
  minced garlic (1 whole)
  butter

Boil the water and cook the pasta for about 12-15 minutes and set aside along with some of the water. Melt 1/2 lb of butter and cook the garlic for a minute. Mix with a cup of pasta water and pecorino cheese...keep mixing until you get a creamy texture. Add some olive oil, black pepper to taste. You may add some milk if you like. Place the pasta in a bowl and mix the crab meat. Serve with white wine.
