Ingredients
- 1 package (16 oz) spaghetti
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 teaspoons coarse ground black pepper
- 1½ cups finely shredded Pecorino Romano cheese
- Chopped fresh parsley, if desired
How to Make It
- Cook pasta as directed on package, except remove 1 cup of pasta cooking water before draining pasta. Set aside the reserved pasta cooking water. Drain the pasta but do not rinse.
- In 4-quart saucepan, heat oil over medium heat. Add pepper; cook and stir 1 minute to toast pepper. Add ¾ cup of the reserved pasta water and heat until simmering. Add pasta; sprinkle pasta with cheese. Toss with tongs to combine until mixture clings to pasta. If mixture seems dry, add remaining ¼ cup reserved pasta cooking water, but this pasta dish will not be saucy.
- Sprinkle with parsley. Serve with additional cheese if desired.
