- Spaghetti with Pecorino Romano and Black Pepper
- (Spaghetti a Cacio e Pepe)
|
-
- Ingredients:
-
Kosher salt or coarse sea salt
1 and 1/2 lbs spaghetti, spaghettoni, tonnarelli or fettuccine
About 2 cups freshly grated Pecorino Romano
1 heaping tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions:
Bring at least 5 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot and add a tiny pinch of salt.
Drop in the pasta, stir and cover the pot.
When the water returns to a boil, remove the lid and cook, uncovered, until the pasta is 'al dente'.
Reserve about 1/2 cup of the cooking water and drain the pasta.
Return the still-dripping pasta to the pot in which it was boiled.
Away from any direct source of heat, stir in the reserved pasta water and toss vigorously while sprinkling in about 1 cup of the cheese and the pepper.
Serve immediately in pasta bowls with the remaining 1 cup Pecorino Romano cheese on the side. Makes 6 servings.
That's it!
