One-pot cacio e pepe Israeli couscous from The Comfortable Kitchen: 105 Laid-Back, Healthy, and Wholesome Recipes (page 86) by Alex Snodgrass

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Can substitute pearl couscous for Israeli couscous, and Parmigiano Reggiano cheese for pecorino cheese.

    Didn't have a ton of flavor so it's a good side dish for mains that have a lot going on. Served this with Moroccan chicken and a raw zucchini salad.

    I really wanted to like this more than I did. Wanting a main + a salad, I pan fried some chopped ham to add at the end & I replaced the optional arugula with a handful of chiffonaded basil. Both of these additions tasted great in the finished dish but the problem was that coucous mix was very thick/sticky (starchy I guess?) and I expected something a little silkier/saucier. Ultimately I stirred in some 5% cream to loosen it and as I ate it beside my salad, I found my self mixing the forkfuls...and the assertive vinaigrette from the salad saved this for me.

    This was good.
