Ingredients for 4 people
400 g of spaghetti
200 g of Pecorino Romano DOP
ground black pepper
extra virgin olive oil
salt
Preparation
Grate the Pecorino Romano and crumble the black pepper in a mortar. Put them in a bowl. Cook the spaghetti in boiling salted water, where you previously added a teaspoonful of olive oil. When the pasta is “al dente” use tongs to quickly transfer it to the bowl, reserving a cup or so of the cooking water. Stir vigorously adding the cooking water. Plate and add some extra pecorino and black pepper (cacio e pepe).
What NOT to do: drain the pasta, pour the sauce on the pasta, cook the pasta once it is removed from the water, and wait to serve it.
