Cacio e Pepe, but make it crispy, easy to prep, and protein-packed thanks to a little Tara Time recipe with my special guest, Lisa! We had so much fun making these Cacio e Pepe Pasta Bites that are perfect for snacking, sharing, or sneaking a few straight from the pan 😋 Every bite is packed with a cheesy, peppery flavor that will have you reaching for more!

Check out the recipe below so you can make it at home with just a few simple ingredients you probably already have in your pantry! 💫

-2 oz. Pecorino Romano, finely grated
-1 tsp. Freshly ground black pepper

-Marinara or any other pasta sauce of your choice for dipping

Directions
-In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil and add farfalle pasta.
-Cook 6-8 minutes until pasta is just about al dente.
