Renowned chef Martha Stewart’s go-to lazy girl meal is cacio e pepe, a simple yet iconic Italian pasta dish made with just three ingredients: spaghetti noodles, cheese, and black pepper. This easy-to-make recipe is versatile and pairs well with a variety of proteins, greens, side dishes, and beverages. With the right tools and ingredients, making cacio e pepe is effortless, and it can even be prepared in just one pot. To enhance the dish, add pre-washed and bagged veggies, minced garlic from a jar, or Italian breadcrumbs for a textural contrast.
