Instructions

Place your pasta in boiling & salted water. While it cooks, grate your Pecorino Romano very fine and grind your black pepper. Toast the black pepper in a dry frying pan and then add some pasta water. When your pasta is al dente, remove it from the water and place in your pan. Incorporate your cheese into the pan with more pasta water - stirring vigorously. Continue adding cheese and pasta water until you’ve reached a creamy sauce. Serve with more cheese and pepper.
