  2. 2

    In a preheated pan over low heat, toast freshly ground black pepper (not too finely ground) for just over a minute.

  3. 3

    When the water boils, add the spaghetti. Add 2 ladles of pasta cooking water to the pan over medium-high heat. Meanwhile, in a bowl, mix the Pecorino Romano with a little pasta cooking water until you get a mixture that is not too dry but not too runny.

  4. 4

    When the pasta has about 3 minutes left to cook, transfer it to the pan and finish cooking, adding another ladle of pasta water. Stir the pasta often during this step to help release the starch, which will create a creamy sauce.

  5. 5

    When the pasta is cooked and the water has mostly evaporated, leaving just the sauce, remove from heat and let it cool for about 10 seconds. Quickly add the Pecorino mixture and toss vigorously with tongs. If needed, add a little more pasta water and toss well. Now, plate and serve. Enjoy!
