During the transhumance the shepherds brought with them spaghetti, cheese and pepper, this is because black pepper stimulates the heat receptors and helped the shepherds protect themselves from the cold, and the seasoned pecorino (cheese) can be preserved for a long time and the pasta guaranteed the right contribution of carbohydrates and calories. so let's prepare this sauce with cheese and pepper ready to season your pasta. Did you know that pecorino changes flavor and color depending on the seasons? This depends on the different forage that the sheep eat during the year. The color of this sauce can change from one production to another from ivory to a slightly pink color, because we do not use color stabilizers respecting the naturalness of the pecorino and its shades of color and flavor.
