CACIO E PEPE PIZZA

Steps:

• Make the dough: Combine the flour, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in the warm water. Sprinkle the sugar and yeast over the water and let stand until bubbling, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour the olive oil into the well, then stir with a wooden spoon to make a shaggy dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in a lightly oiled bowl, tightly cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• Make the pizza: One hour before baking, put a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 500 degrees F. On a lightly floured surface, stretch the dough into a 12-inch round. Transfer the dough to a well-floured pizza peel or another inverted baking sheet. Dot with the ice and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Slide the pizza onto the hot stone. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the ice melts, 12 to 13 minutes.
• Transfer the pizza to a cutting board and cover with small spoonfuls of the ricotta. Sprinkle with the pecorino and pepper; drizzle the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil on top and season with salt.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Once the water starts to boil, add the spaghetti and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water, then drain the spaghetti through a colander.
• Melt the butter in a medium pan over medium heat. Add the pepper and cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic, about 30 seconds.
• Add the spaghetti to the butter and use tongs to toss to coat. Add the Parmesan and 1 tablespoon of reserved pasta water and quickly toss to combine, adding more pasta water until the sauce becomes just creamy and clings to the noodles, about 1 minute.
• Remove the pan from the heat. Serve topped with more freshly ground black pepper and flaky sea salt.
• Enjoy!

CACIO E PEPE WHITE PIZZA

Steps:

• Place one pizza stone on the bottom rack of your oven and another one on the top rack. Preheat the oven for 1 hour at 500 degrees F or on broil. This will help the stones absorb some heat and give you an extra 50 to 100 degrees.
• Mix the ricotta, 1/4 cup of the Parmigiano and the whipping cream in a medium bowl.
• Sprinkle a little flour or semolina on a wooden pizza peel. Stretch the dough into a 12-to-14-inch circular shape and place it on the pizza peel. Brush the crust with the oil.
• Spread the ricotta mixture in an even layer over the pizza. (If there is a little leftover, you can use for a dip for the crusts!) Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the ricotta, and then lay slices of the fresh mozzarella on top. Top the pizza with 1 teaspoon pepper and 2 tablespoons of the Parmigiano.
• Slide the pizza onto the bottom pizza stone and let cook until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is brown and bubbling, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Top the pizza with remaining 2 tablespoons Parmigiano, 1 teaspoon pepper and season with salt. Slice and serve with any remaining ricotta mixture.
