INGREDIENTS

  • Pasta

    • 🍝 1 pound spaghetti

  • Oil & Fats

    • 6 tablespoons olive oil

  • Seasoning & Spices

    • 🧄 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 2 teaspoons ground black pepper

  • Cheese / Dairy

    • 🧀 1 ¾ cups grated Pecorino Romano cheese

STEPS

1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain spaghetti.

2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir garlic and pepper in hot oil until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.

3

Add cooked spaghetti and Pecorino Romano cheese. Ladle in 1/2 cup of reserved cooking water; stir until the cheese is melted, about 1 minute.

4

Stir in more cooking water as needed, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce coats the spaghetti, about 1 minute more.
