Cacio e Pepe Crisps

Try this combo for your next movie night. Cacio e Pepe is one of my absolute favourite pastas, but the flavour combination works on lots of other things – polenta, cauliflower florets. My latest obsession is to have it on crisps.

Ingredients

  • 125g olive oil potato crisps (e.g. Torres)

  • 1 tbsp coarsely cracked black pepper

  1. Preheat the oven to 220°C/Gas Mark 7.

  2. Spread the potato crisps out in a single layer on a baking tray. Sprinkle half the cheese evenly over the crisps.

  3. Bake until the cheese is melted, and the crisps are just beginning to brown at the edges – 4 minutes ~approximately.
