Vegan Cacio E Pepe

Unbelievably delicious! I used PUL parmesan, and I just loved it in this recipe. The whole recipe was such a breeze to bring together. I will 100% remake this one!

Omg yummm 😍😍 so delish!

This was simple and delicious! Subbed the miso paste with vegan fish sauce and it turned out well.

I am still a newbie in the kitchen but pul makes me want to cook even more! This recipe was so easy and delicious, I used the vegan Parmesan also by pul. It's the perfect amount for two people or if I want to have leftovers. My mom who isn't vegan also loved this recipe. Granted I didn't have miso paste but I had a miso ramen pack so I used that instead. Paired it with a side of lettuce mix and vegan chicken for protein very full and satisfied! (:

Aw thanks for welcoming us into your culinary adventures, Alex! We're so glad that the Cacio E Pepe was enjoyed and love the idea of pairing it with a salad and some protein 😊

Yum!

I love this recipe so much. I make this for myself with an additional half a cup of peas and shredded zucchini to up my protein and veg intake. I've also added sun-dried tomatoes in the past

Mmm love the additions, Melissa! Thanks for the ideas 😊

Easy and delicious!

Wow, this recipe is fantastic. Not only is it delicious, but it requires no chopping and is fast to make. Even making the vegan Parmesan was fast. I can’t wait to make this again.

We're so thrilled to hear this, Michelle, thank you! :)

Great fast recipe which doesn't require chopping onion and garlic. Ideal when time is an issue.
I started by frying some mushrooms, followed the recipe and towards the end finally grated a courgette to get some veggies. The sauce tastes so cheesy in the pan but as often seems to happen with me it lost some of it's cheesiness when it was plated. Any idea why this happens? Next time I'll pop any leftover vegan parmesan on the table. We also didn't have any basil so we used parsley. All in all another 5* from me.

Hey Phillipa, we're glad that the pasta earned a 5-star rating from you! The loss of cheesiness when plated could be due to factors like temperature change. Perhaps heating up the plate could help. We also suggest adding some vegan parmesan as a topping.

Quick recipe! It’s simply, cozy, and delicious. Paired with asparagus. Subbed gluten free linguine.

Quick, easy, delicious. It was a hit for everyone! I served broccoli on the side.
I’m sure this will become a go-to for nights when we need something super quick!

Recipe was tasty but as soon as I started cooking the miso in butter, a very pungent smell emanated from the pan (and now the smell is in my whole apartment). Not sure why that is. Maybe I'll make it again excluding the miso or mixing it with water and adding it at the end!

Hey HQ I suspect the pungent smell could be due to the miso paste reacting to the heat. Miso can become quite aromatic when cooked, especially at high temperatures. Dropping the heat of the pan before adding it could help, or indeed, your idea to mix it with water and add it towards the end of cooking is a good one, as it should help reduce the intensity of the smell while still imparting flavour to the dish.

So quick and simple, yet completely delicious! A real favourite.
So easy to add frozen peas or broccoli in with the pasta, towards the end of cooking, for tasty addition.
(FYI, the nutritional yeast and parm seem to be in the wrong ‘make’ section though, under black pepper rather than next ‘slide’).

Hey Rút, thanks for sharing the review - it's a lovely idea to add some frozen veggies! Great catch with the nutritional yeast and vegan parmesan as well. We've just fixed this on our backend so it should load on the apps front end soon 😃

We love this quick easy tasty weeknight dinner. I like to add some peas to it and top with pinenuts for a little extra flavor. Absolutely delicious.

Quick, easy, and delicious mid-week dinner!!

This is so yummy. We’ve had it quite a few times and it is regularly asked for. I’m so glad you came up with it, thank you 😊

I have two super picky eaters that are 6 and 3 yo at home but they loved it and ate it all. So nice to find something they would eat. I also really like it.

Quick, easy and delicious 😍

Super delicious and cheesy!!! I used in my lunch for school!🙃

Not a lot of ingredients and yet so flavorful! I'll definitely make this more often if I just need something quick, easy and still delicious!

Super easy and delicious!
FYI, when you adjust the amount of servings it doesn't automatically adjust the amount of pasta water needed. So when i made it for one person it still said 1 cup which would be too much of course, so watch out for that 😊

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with the recipe, Kristina! We have added a note to the recipe to help clarify this 😃

This is an amazing simple dish. Just enough kick to it!

Amazing! I added garlic at the end because I didn’t have miso
