With its new Organic Cacio E Pepe Puffs, Trader Joe's has managed to transform a classic pasta dish into a cheesy bite-sized snack.
Cacio e pepe is a traditional Italian pasta dish that literally translates into "cheese and pepper." Now, Trader Joe's has managed to take the distinctively cheesy taste of this pasta, and transform it into a deliciously addictive snack. The new Organic Cacio E Pepe Puffs start with a base of puffed organic corn meal and organic brown rice flour. These light and crunchy puffs are then coated with a seasoning of dried, organic Cheddar and Romano cheeses and organic black pepper. As Trader Joe's explains, "With every bite, you get both the classically cheesy and peppery cacio e pepe profile, and a resoundingly crunchy texture that keeps you coming back for more."
