Ingredients
- Spaghetti or tonnarelli
- Pecorino Romano cheese (grated)
- Freshly cracked black pepper
Instructions

- Reserve some pasta water, then drain the pasta.
- In a large pan, combine the hot pasta with grated Pecorino Romano cheese and a generous amount of freshly cracked black pepper.
- Add reserved pasta water a little at a time to create a creamy sauce, tossing until well combined.
