Dairy Free and Nut Free Vegan Cacio E Pepe

This simple Italian pasta dish is a quick, easy and delicious staple using just a few ingredients. Usually veganised Cacio E Pepe involves cashews to achieve a creamy consistency, however we’ve opted to whip up a nut free, and of course dairy free version for you to try. You’ll be amazed at just how simple it is, and incredibly tasty too!

Ingredients

340g Spaghetti

1 ¼ Tsp freshly cracked black pepper

1 – 2 Cups BioCheese Grated Parmesano

Method

1. In a large and deep non-stick pan, toast the black pepper over a medium-low heat for 1-2 minutes. Remove and set to the side.
