Two things: Try mizithra cheese in this. It is absolutely to die for. I love romano, but mizithra has a fantastic distinctive flavor that I can never get enough of.

Less important, but still important: the link to this on your recipe list is wrong. I had to search the google to find it!

I love this recipe!! Not only is it delicious, but my (Italian) mother’s maiden name is Pepe, which makes me like the dish all the more. just taught a friend to make it and decided to google “cacio e pepe” for the heck of it, and this blog entry came up. Beautiful photos, and I like the idea of using the pasta water for moisture (as opposed to olive oil, which I’ve always done). I’ll give it a shot the next time I make it.

Lucette, oh, how I wish my mother could have come over! ANTM certainly helped pass the time, but because it involved neither hugs nor soup, it wasn’t particularly comforting. But I know, isn’t it horrifyingly irresistable?

What is it about AMNTM? I know I shouldn’t love it, but I do.When I had my first grownup flu (many years ago now), I was lucky enough to have my mother available–she came over, cleaned the house (without commenting on its state), made soup, took care of the babies. I still remember how heavenly it was to lie on the couch and not have to worry about anything except being sick.

Aw, thank you, pomegranate. I’m pleased to report that your wishes–and the turtle’s–seem to be working…And Dave, so good to see you! Your pastina treatment sounds wonderful, so plain and delicious. I think I’d be wise to start a “Food Options When Sick” list, now that I’ve got a good number of soothing suggestions; but then again, that would require acknowledging that I might actually get the flu <>again<>. Right now, denial feels better.

Hope you're feeling better Molly.My sick food is pastina (teeny, tiny pasta) with butter and a trace of salt. That's it.Dave

Oohh, lovely creature. Getwellsoon. Imagine it, scrawled across an oversized greeting card with a turtle on the front.
