I watched a local couple order and eat this in Rome, in Trastevere.
The waiter brought them unadorned noodles, a bowl of grated cheese,
and a pepper mill.

Terry, you might enjoy the column on cacio e pepe by Rowley Leigh in a
recent Financial Times weekend section. He uses only spaghetti, peppercorns
and pecorino Romano. I've clipped his to try, and now I'll have to try
yours, too (I do like the idea of toasting the pepper in butter). It's a
tough life .

I didn't know noodles, butter and cheese (and some pepper) had a name.
To think I've been making this for years and didn't know I was making
"something" all this time!

Apparently, it's Cacio e Pepe not Alfredo.

I hope your artichokes are better that the ones we had the other
night- they were stringy and tough

No cream in the Cacio e Pepe, although the finished product *tastes*
like it has cream in it.

In fact it doesn't: "Cacio e pepe" is something more than just noodles
butter and cheese, just as "Alfredo" is something more than just noodles
butter and cheese.

The two recipes are very similar but Alfredo requires "doppio burro", which
means that butter is added both before and after placing the noodles in the
serving bowl.

Since when does cacio ever refer to Parmigiano Reggiano?

Since when "fettuccine" refers to "tonnarelli".

No problem for me. I'll just continue calling it by the components.
I wouldn't know how to pronounce Cacio e Pepe anyway. I'd never heard
of it before and I probably never will again.

Just as me, and when I do something particular I like to call it with it
(posibly) fancy name, like alfredo and cacio e pepe.

Who knows? Let's see if this evening I'll find someone on youtube spelling
it clearly for you to listen.
God knows how many times I've asked myself "And how should I spell this
word?" while reading english texts
