This is a recipe by Chef David Chang of the the Momofuku empire. He was featured in the PBS series The Mind of a Chef and made his version of Cacio e Pepe using ramen noodles. I was astounded and amazed by his creation and had to recreate his dish! I’ve made this dish several times now. This recipe can easily be doubled.
Fast and Cheesy Ramen #WeekdaySupper
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1 cup water
- 1 Tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 package ramen noodles discard or set aside seasoning packets for later use
- Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a medium-sized saucepan over high heat, heat the water, butter, and cheese. Just as it starts to simmer, add the brick of ramen noodles. The noodles will unravel within a minute. With a pair of chopsticks or tongs, keep stirring the noodles until all the liquid is absorbed, about 3-4 minutes. Plate, generously sprinkle with freshly ground pepper, and serve immediately!

You’re a rock star for making cheesy ramen, Ames! Damn I love ramen (and all incarnations of instant noodles). Your photos are seriously making me drool. Must.make.immediately!
Hey Nance! I love the combination of the chewy noodles and the cheese. I inhaled this dish!
Looks really tempting. And I don’t even like ramen, though I get cravings every once in a while. Did you eat this with a side of kimchi? Hehe
I ate the ramen so quickly, I didn’t even think to get out the kimchi! 😀 What don’t you like about ramen?
