Compound butters are a great way to very quickly season food, adding both fat and flavor at the same time. This Cacio e Pepe butter goes wonderfully on pasta (ideally keto pasta) or on vegetables (especially broccoli and asparagus). This recipe came from a Mad Genius Tips article in Food & Wine Magazine back in 2018.

Ingredients

  • 4 oz unsalted butter (120g)

  • 1.5 TB freshly ground black pepper (13g)

  • 1 cup Grated Pecorino Romano cheese (50g)

  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt (optional)

Directions

  • Combine all ingredients in a food processor, scraping down the sides as necessary, until completely combined.
  • Transfer the compound butter to a sheet of plastic wrap and roll into a log (see video for this process).
  • Place the butter in the freezer for 30 minutes so that it hardens. After this you can store it in the freezer or fridge.
  • If serving over vegetables, I recommend freezing and then using a coarse grater to grate over the veggies.
