An authentic Italian recipe from our kitchen to yours. Buon Appetito!

Ingredients

- 1 box of your favorite spaghetti

- 2/3 cup Pecorino Romano cheese, grated

- 1 teaspoon freshly grated black pepper

Directions

1. Prepare and cook the spaghetti according to the manufacturer's instructions.

2. Once the pasta is cooked, strain it into a serving bowl and reserve 2 cups of cooking water from the pasta.

3. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the Pecorino over the pasta along with the black pepper, and add 1/4 cup of the hot cooking water to the bowl.

4. Toss the pasta well to combine, allowing the cheese to melt and distribute evenly throughout all of the spaghetti. If you would like a creamier sauce, add a few more spoons of the cooking water to the bowl and continue tossing until you reach your desired consistency.

5. Sprinkle the rest of the Pecorino over the top of the pasta and serve hot.
