| I N G R E D I E N T S | |
|---|---|
| Spaghetti -cooked -al dente- | 400 g - 14 oz- |
| Pecorino romano cheese -freshly grated- | 150 g - 5 oz- |
| Black pepper -roughly crushed- | 10 g - 1-3 oz- |
| 1 | Freshly grate Pecorino romano cheese. |
| 2 | Crush the pepper grains with a bottle. |
| 3 | Pour the cheese into a large bowl. |
| 4 | Sprinkle with all the crushed pepper you have prepared. |
| 5 | Mix the cheese with the pepper. |
| 6 | Make sure the pepper is evenly distributed. |
| 7 | cook the pasta till it is -al dente-. |
| 8 | Drain the spaghetti but remember to leave some water -the spaghetti should look visibly wet-. |
| 9 | Put the spaghetti into the large bowl where you have previously put the cheese and the pepper. |
| 10 | Stir energetically in order to coat all the spaghetti. At this stage- the cheese should melt in contact with the spaghetti and the water you left in the spaghetti will help to create a lovely creamy coating. |
| 11 | If you think the spaghetti coating is becoming too dry- you can add a half ladle of the water you saved before. |
