I don’t only eat cookies and brownies, people. If you are like me and have nothing left in your fridge because it’s Sunday, then make this CACIO E PEPE for dinner tonight and call it a day. This dish is THE way to my heart! Nope, it’s not vegan and it’s not paleo—I used raw parmesan, an egg yolk, and raw butter, but I made it gluten free by using chickpea pasta, so at least I’ve got that going for me. Honestly, if you don’t have a food sensitivity to these things, this is comfort food at its finest!!!. Pair it with a glass of wine and live a little.
