The most humble and minimal of the four classic pastas of Rome , this recipe has only four ingredients- spaghetti , Pecorino Romano , black peppercorns and extra-virgin olive oil . The dish dates back to the years of the Roman Empire but has been a staple for Roman shepherds for centuries thanks to its minimal , easy-to-carry ingredients making it ideal for shepherds to cook on the move . Despite the simplicity of the ingredients , with the dish literally meaning ‘ cheese and pepper ’, it is a hard dish to get spot on due to it all being cooked at the last minute and good quality ingredients are needed to authentically replicate this dish . If you ’ re in Bristol , why not take a visit to Divino ’ s Deli situated at the top of Whiteladies Road to pick up some highquality Pecorino Romano and treat yourself to a trip to Rome from the comfort of your house .
