The sauce for this pasta dish is just cheese and pepper (aka cacio e pepe in Italian). Try this with kids as a simple yet sophisticated alternative to standard mac and cheese. Lots of black pepper adds a touch of heat, priming picky palates for spicier food.
8 ounces dried tagliatelle or pappardelle
2 cups peas
¾ cup grated pecorino cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons ground pepper, plus more for serving
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
