Peace. Love. Ranch.

Ranch Cacio e Pepe

This simple yet sophisticated dish is our grownup version of mac ‘n’ cheese.

This dish is inspired by our latest food obsession, the no-recipe recipe. Unlike a traditional recipe, this dish doesn’t call for a list of fixed ingredients, so you can customize it to fit your tastes. Explore all of our no-recipe recipes here, and shake up some mealtime magic, your way.

  • To get started: Bring a pot of well-salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti or linguine to the pot and cook according to package directions. Save at least half a cup or so of the pasta water before draining the noodles.
  • Add the spaghetti back into the pot and stir in a generous amount of butter, a tablespoon or two of Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Seasoning Shaker, lots of freshly ground black pepper and a large handful of freshly grated Parmesan or Pecorino cheese. Toss well to coat, adding pasta water as necessary to make it saucy.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from What a great tasting pasta dish! Such a good flavor! I have to admit I like it for breakfast. I added a pinch of crushed red peppers to the black pepper, but I think I like it better with just the black pepper, but lots of it! Definite keeper. This is going into my Comfort Food recipe file.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Ridiculous how good Just ridiculous how good & how easy this dish is! I was absolutely blown away by its simplicity & end result of flavor. This was delicious & has earned a gold star in my recipe rotation. One wouldn't expect so much complexity of flavor in so few simple ingredients. The HVR Shaker has taken my cooking to gourmet levels, yes, I said gourmet because the flavors I'm getting in my latest dishes rival top restaurants. This is a must try!
