Steak and Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe
We wanted something simple for dinner tonight and since London broil was on sale at the supermarket we decided to do steak with that excellent marinade we used awhile back and another recipe from that same episode of Lidia's Italy - Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe:
... which is just spaghetti with pecorino cheese and pepper. The steak was fantastic, nice and rare with good flavor from the marinade, but the pasta was the real winner. It couldn't have been simpler - you just cook the pasta until it's al dente and then toss it with some of the cooking water, copious amounts of grated cheese and lots of crushed black pepper - and yet the flavor was outstanding. I could have eaten a half pound all by myself, which is why I only made a half pound in the first place. The desire to have leftovers for lunch always outweighs my gluttonous nature.
And for some added healthiness, salad with romaine, cucumbers, banana peppers and scallions with a light smear of blue cheese dressing:
