Taralli Cacio e Pepe are a delicious twist on the classic Italian taralli, a crunchy, ring-shaped snack. This version incorporates the bold, savory flavors of cacio (Pecorino Romano cheese) and pepe (black pepper), creating a rich and flavorful bite. The dough is typically made with flour, olive oil, water, and salt, but the key ingredients that make these taralli unique are the generous amounts of Pecorino and freshly cracked black pepper, which give them a savory and slightly spicy kick. After being shaped into rings, the taralli are boiled briefly and then baked until golden and crisp. Perfect as an appetizer, snack, or with an aperitivo, these taralli combine a satisfying crunch with the irresistible tang of cheese and the warmth of pepper.
