Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat and season generously with sea salt flakes. Cook the spaghetti according to the packet instructions.
  2. Place a pan over medium heat, add the cracked black pepper and toast gently for 45 seconds. Add 1/2 cup of pasta water and simmer gently until the pasta is al dente, adding more water if it evaporates.
  3. Once the pasta is cooked, turn off the heat under both the pan and the pot. Transfer the pasta straight from the pot into the pan, bringing some water with it. Add the cheese and toss to combine.
  4. Add small amounts of extra pasta water until the sauce reaches your desired creaminess.
  5. Serve in bowls and top with freshly grated pecorino Romano and cracked black pepper.
