Cacio e Pepe Pasta

You ever bite off more than you can chew?  I did that with Tomoson. Tomoson is a website that connects bloggers with companies so that bloggers can try out their products. I recently signed up hoping to find some new and fun food items! Well, I got a little too excited and went nuts on kitchen tools. My bad. This time I got this pretty dual salt and pepper grinder. Look at it….isn’t it pretty? Stainless steel, black and white, it’s just so aesthetically pleasing. Which is exactly why I signed up to review it.  Does it work? Yes- pretty damn well actually. And I’m not going to lie, but I’m kind of loving the fact that I can use one tool to season my food versus two. Efficiency for the win!

Cacio e Pepe (1)So what did I make with this eye-pleasing gadget? Cacio e Pepe aka pasta, cheese, pepper and salt. Nothing can be easier than this. Anyone can make this meal…ANYone. I made this fresh and mildly spicy pasta from CHOW and changed it so it feeds 2 people, rather than the Brady Bunch.  Try it for yourself when your taste buds need a break or need some simple and fresh!
