Ingredients
- 350g (12.3oz) - Spaghetti
- 1 ½ Tbsp (70 Cracks) - Black Pepper
- 1 ½ Cups (120g) - Pecorino Romano Cheese, Freshly Grated
- Pasta Water
- Salt
Instructions
- Place a large pot of water over high heat, boil, and generously season with sea salt flakes. Add spaghetti and cook as per the packet instructions.
- Place a pan on the stovetop over medium heat. Add the cracked black pepper and gently toast for 45 seconds to 1 minute. Once the pasta is cooked, add 1 cup of water and gently simmer for 1 ½-2 minutes.
- Add the pasta straight from the pot into the pan (bringing some water over is fine). Add the cheese and toss to combine. Add small amounts of extra pasta water to obtain your desired creamy consistency (see video for recommendations).
