Wow, I didn't think I'd ever say that, but this time, this cacio e pepe video recipe really left me speechless.
I feel like I have to compliment Babish, because he showed an alternative (and super simple) technique to create this Roman dish in no time! Well done my friend, I definitely prefer the traditional Roman technique, but I will try this method, no doubts!

This is the best technique for all those who, after trying several times, cannot get cream cheese, but only lumps. With this method, you always get a creamy Cacio e Pepe without lumps. Important when in the blender with the cheese you add some cooking water that the water temperature is around 60 degrees. PS: And as Machiavelli said.....”il fine giustifica i mezzi !“ (the end justifies the means).

The blender technique is commonly used in restaurants to create batches of "sauce", ready to make C&P. They also don't use pasta water, but just cheese+water+starch. Also I think Babish used too much water on his. You should try it Vincenzo. But I agree with you, it's better to do it "by hand" but this is also good to make when you have 4+ guests :)

Thank you for the information about the blender technique. I have never tried it before, but I am always open to learning new techniques. I will definitely give it a try the next time I make carbonara. I agree that it is better to do it "by hand" if you are only making a small batch for yourself or a few friends. But if you are making a large batch for a party, then the blender technique is a good option.

Great video - I am not sure about the blender technique if you're just making cacio e pepe for yourself, but if you're making cacio e pepe for the whole family, it could definitely save you a lot of time! My fool proof method is to grate the pecorino into a separate bowl, and add pasta water in small additions until the mixture is just a little runnier than you want it to be. Then after the pasta has been mixed with the pepper in the pan, transfer a little pasta at a time from the pan to the bowl. This is basically tempering the pecorino and pasta water mixture by heating it a little at a time. What I like about this is you can tell if things are starting to go wrong - if you see part of your cheese mixture start to seize up, you can still save it by removing the pasta you've added (and remove any small clumps that might have formed).

For the every day below average person who normally only ever eats cheap and ez ramen bricks, adding the butter makes the process far simpler, it also allows it to stay creamier for longer. Though using the blender does add more clean up, emulsifying the cheese increases success for the average cook. This is just the already incredible dish made easier, not better though. The pepper didn't get the opportunity to roast and release the flavour. It only fried in the butter and diffused. Good recipe, but I'm happy with the authentic way.

Andrew has a botched by babish video where he learned through trial and error and through Luciano on how to make cacio e pepe. He learned the way Luciano makes cacio e pepe in a italia squisita video where he do the blender trick by putting cheese, pepper, and a starch gel that he made. This trick is done because there is a need to have a fool-proof method to make large batches of sauce for restaurant service. I hope you watch the botched video so you can gain insight on how Andrew Arrived here.

This is a method Kenji Alt-Lopez uses for his New England Clam Chowder. The goal is similar in that his creamy broth in the chowder was splitting. So by using the blender to emulsify the cream, his chowder never split and he felt that was the best overall way to make it. I use his recipe (slightly varied) for when I make clam chowder.

this is basically just taking the immersion blender technique for making mayo, popularized by j kenji lopez, and applying it to emulsified pasta sauces. should work even better with carbonara. another thing that might be worth trying is a sort of hybrid between this, and your current methods that make a cheese ball with a bit of pasta water - use a high powered blender to make your cheese ball, and then add it to the pasta with pasta water to make the cream. if you start your cheese ball with the blender, you will get some of that very strong emulsion created by the speed of the blender's blades, but you will still be able to fine tune the consistency of the cream in the pan, like youre able to do with the method shown in your most recent cacio e pepe video.

I think what I find odd about when people try to make food that isn't from their lineage is that they are usually on the right path, but they are missing something, it's always a process is wrong, or they overthink things. my grandma was Hispanic, and we ate a lot of Mexican food growing up, and when I go to an Americanized Mexican restaurant, and they overdo something simple and screw it up it breaks my heart.

The blender jug would make it easy to quickly pour the creamy sauce across multiple servings and it all goes into the dishwasher at the end of the meal.

Here is what i need to say, the problem most people have is just not being able to control for temperature. Use a thermometer if you must, but don't immediately add cheese to hot pasta, toss the pasta for a few minutes with the pepper and pasta water and let the steam escape for a while, and then add the cheese. Nobody says this but hot pasta will string that cheese up the same way a pan with fire would.

I watched a few of Luciano's recipes and what he was explaining was that doing it this way prevents these creamy saucy pasta dishes from clumping when they cool down even slightly as in a restaurant it's not always easy to get the food to the customer while it's ripping hot, and this way you can let it cool down a little so you can enjoy the taste without burning your mouth.

if you are affraid, just hedge. A dash of sodium citrate, or more precisely trisodium citrate dihydrate, will enable the pasta water-cheese-room temperature butter emulsion perfectly ever time. just keep a little sodium citrate handy when making any cheese sauce. (if you have ever uncorked a bottle of white wine, and noticed some crystals stuck to the bottom of the cork?. that is sodium citrate. but you can buy it, or even make your own..) fool proof creamy sauce

Again, I am impressed by your fairness in commenting. There is a simple reason, why your sauce is a lot creamier: He adds a distinct amount of pasta water. You add as much pasta water, as is needed. Therefore, you can react a lot finer and more precisely to the consistency changes in your sauce. For someone, who does not cook very often, his way is less risky. Nevertheless, I prefer your more refined way.

The first few times I tried Cacio e Pepe I got a lumpy, stringy sauce. But then I could find out three reasons for failure: 1) I used pecorino sardo and toscano because I couldn't get romano at the beginning. They were too soft and couldn't be ground fine enough. ==> 2) You have to grind fine enough with a proper grinding tool (f.i. "Microplane Starblade"). 3) You have to mix the paste of cheese + pasta water long and intensively enough to get a rather homogenous texture in it. After correction of these things I have always got a nice Cacio e Pepe as it has to be.

Then what Vincenzo believes here is another matter.

PS: By the way, I say this as an Italian.
