Chef Christmas Recipe: Trout Roe Cacio e Pepe
“I’ve always loved The Feast of the Seven Fishes tradition that Italians do for Christmas Eve and this would be a great dish for one of the fish. It’s a very simple Ricotta Cavatelli that is done in the style of Cacio e Pepe with the addition of Trout Roe. The Roe lends a slight salinity to the dish and really helps elevate it.”
