A simple pasta made with nothing but Grana Padano cheese and olive oil, learned by surveying locals in an Italian park. With just three ingredients, you combine the pasta water and cheese and toss everything together in a bowl. Grind black pepper over it at the end for a cacio e pepe feel, or squeeze on lemon to lighten it up for a completely different impression.
