Steps

30 minutes
  1. 1

    Grate all the Pecorino Romano cheese just before using. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil with 1/2 tablespoon of salt. When the water boils, add the spaghetti and cook for about 15 minutes, or less if you prefer it al dente (always check the package instructions).

  2. 2

    Before draining the pasta, reserve some of the cooking water and mix it with the Pecorino Romano to create a thick but not too dense cream. Use a whisk to help combine.

  3. 3

    In a large nonstick skillet, toast the black peppercorns that you have crushed with a knife. Quickly assemble the dish: use tongs to arrange the pasta on the plate. Be careful not to let the cheese cool; if needed, add a little more cooking water.

  4. 4

    Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the toasted pepper and 2–3 tablespoons of pasta cooking water. Add the cheese cream, mix well, toss for a few seconds, and serve.
    Tips:
    1) Buy aged Pecorino Romano to help it melt into a creamy sauce instead of clumping.
    2) Use just enough water to cook the pasta so the starches needed for the sauce are not lost.
    3) Let the cooking water cool slightly before using it in the sauce.
