This dish was created by Chef Massimo Bottura, the mastermind behind Osteria Francescana, a 3-Michelin star restaurant that consistently ranks among the world’s best. An adaptation of the famous Roman dish Cacio e Pepe, Parmigiano Reggiano takes the place of Pecorino Romano cheese and Arborio rice stands in for the spaghetti pasta. Simple, rich, and creamy this is Italian comfort food at its finest.
