Cacio e Pepe

Ingredients

  • 400g tonnarelli or spaghetti
  • 200g pecorino romano, finely grated
  • 2 tsp freshly cracked black pepper
  • Salt

Method

Toast the pepper in a dry pan for 1 minute until fragrant. Cook the pasta until al dente, reserving the cooking water.

Whisk the grated cheese with a little warm pasta water into a smooth cream, taking care it doesn't clump.

Add the drained pasta to the pepper, toss with the cheese cream, and serve immediately.
