Description

Trader Joe's Cacio e Pepe Pasta Sauce brings one of Rome's most iconic pasta preparations into a ready-to-use jar. Cacio e pepe — Italian for "cheese and pepper" — is a Roman classic built on just two flavor pillars: sharp, salty Pecorino Romano cheese and coarsely ground black pepper. This sauce captures that combination in a creamy, pourable format made with real Pecorino Romano (sheep's milk, sea salt, animal rennet), sunflower seed oil, and ground black pepper, with no artificial flavors or colors.

At 110 calories per 1/4 cup serving with 10 g of fat and 3 g of protein, it's a rich, savory sauce that goes a long way. The 14.5 oz jar yields about 7 servings — enough to dress multiple pasta meals. Toss it with spaghetti, tonnarelli, or any long pasta for a quick weeknight dinner that tastes like it took hours.

One note: this sauce contains milk (Pecorino Romano is a sheep's milk cheese) and is not suitable for those with dairy allergies. Once opened, keep refrigerated and consume within 3 days.

HIOOL GOODS sources this directly from Trader Joe's U.S. stores, packs it carefully, and ships it to your door across the U.S. and Canada — a taste of Rome, delivered.
