For a romantic date or an outing with friends, you can’t go wrong with dinner and a movie. Whether you’re headed to a theater or settling in at home, make your cooking the star of the show.
To truly unlock your inner chef, start with a main course that brings the movie “Burnt” to life on your plate through Sweeney’s Simply Satisfying Cacio E Pepe. This delightful spaghetti dish features a garlic butter sauce and Aged Havarti cheese, which marries a rich buttery aroma with a creamy, melty texture.
Sweeney’s Simply Satisfying ‘Cacio E Pepe’ (from the movie “Burnt”)
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
1 package dried spaghetti
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
2 1/2 cups Castello Aged Havarti, shredded
3 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed
2 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped
Salt
In a large saucepan of boiling, salted water, cook spaghetti until ‘al dente.’
While the pasta is cooking, add black pepper to a non-stick skillet and toast until fragrant. Add the butter and garlic and cook for one additional minute, until butter is melted.
Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta liquid. Place the pasta and liquid back into the saucepan. Toss with shredded Aged Havarti, season with salt (optional) and top with fresh chives.
