Cannabis-Infused Cacio e Pepe That Erases Your Social Security Number

Cannabis-Infused Cacio e Pepe That Erases Your Social Security Number  
(the Roman pasta that looked at four ingredients, your identity, and the entire concept of restraint and said “watch me do surgery with cheese and pepper”)

Silky, pepper-fanged strands of tonnarelli suspended in a 45 mg THC pecorino butter emulsion (lecithin method, lab-accurate). So minimal it hurts. So perfect it deletes you. One bowl = the official pasta of “I just wired my life savings to a Nigerian prince because the pepper told me to and it felt right.”

Servings: 4 civilized bowls (or 1 if you’ve stopped pretending you have impulse control)  
THC per bowl: exactly 45 mg  
Total time: 20 minutes active + 7 days proper infusion

CANNABIS INFUSION: 45 mg THC LECITHIN PECORINO BUTTER  
454 g (1 lb) European-style unsalted butter  
10.3 g cannabis flower testing 22 % THC (≈ 2266 mg total THC pre-decarb)  
2 tbsp (14 g) sunflower lecithin granules

DECARBOXYLATION  
- 240 °F exact, 10.3 g medium-fine grind, thin layer on parchment  
- 40 minutes → cool completely

INFUSION (lab-grade)  
1. Melt butter in mason jar in 200 °F water bath  
2. At 185 °F add decarbed weed + lecithin  
3. Hold 185–195 °F for exactly 2 hours, hard swirl every 15 min  
4. Strain hot through 90-micron + coffee filter  
5. Cool 10 min → whip 60 sec to re-emulsify  
6. Fridge overnight → flawless golden butter  
Yield ≈ 415 g containing 180 mg total usable THC  
→ 45 mg per 103.75 g portion (¼ of batch)

PASTA INGREDIENTS (4 bowls)  
400 g tonnarelli, spaghetti alla chitarra, or best-quality bucatini  
The entire 415 g (180 mg total) THC lecithin butter  
300 g finely grated Pecorino Romano (use microplane, no pre-grated garbage)  
4–5 tsp freshly toasted & cracked Tellicherry pepper (coarse, not dust)  
Reserved starchy pasta water (you’ll need ~1½ cups)

INSTRUCTIONS  
1. Start boiling 4 qt aggressively salted water (“tastes like the low tide at Ostia”).  
2. In a large pan off heat, add cracked pepper and the entire batch of THC butter. Place over lowest flame and let pepper bloom until fragrant (30–45 sec).  
3. Cook pasta 2 minutes shy of al dente. Reserve 2 cups water.  
4. Add ½ cup pasta water to the butter/pepper. Swirl to emulsify.  
5. Add drained pasta + another ½ cup water. Toss hard over medium heat.  
6. When water is almost absorbed and pasta looks glossy, remove from heat.  
7. Add Pecorino in 3 additions, tossing violently between each, adding splashes of pasta water until you get a creamy, non-split sauce that clings like guilt.  
8. Divide into 4 bowls immediately (103–105 g butter emulsion per bowl = exactly 45 mg THC).  
9. One final aggressive crack of pepper on top. No extra cheese (you’ll ruin it, don’t be that guy).  
10. Serve to the friend who “doesn’t feel edibles.” Watch them twirl one perfect bite, freeze, and whisper “…the pepper just deleted my LinkedIn.”

PRO TIPS  
- Onset 20–40 min. Lecithin + hot fat = rocket fuel.  
- Sauce breaks? You added cheese on the heat. Start crying and order another pound of Pecorino.  
- If the pasta starts speaking Latin and the pepper forms a perfect black hole in the center of the bowl, you have achieved Roman enlightenment.

Four ingredients. Zero mercy.
