ROMAN CACIO E PEPE POPCORN

We have popcorn almost every Saturday night and watch a movie. Our parents did the same when we were kids. I like flavoring popcorn with different spices, such as chili powder, Cajun seasonings, Old Bay seasoning, curry powder, and the recipe for Cacio e Pepe that is famous in Rome over spaghetti or bucatini. It works so well with popcorn too.




1 large bowl of popped popcorn
1 T extra-virgin olive oil
4 T unsalted butter
1 clove garlic, pressed
½ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
½ cup freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

In a small saucepan, add the olive oil and butter. Melt over medium heat and add the pressed garlic. Mix to combine and pour over popcorn in bowl.


Mix in the cheeses with your hands, and then season to taste with salt and pepper.


Serves 4
