500 g 1 lb tonnarelli, spaghetti, bucatini or another long pasta
250 g 1/2 lb freshly grated pecorino cheese
Freshly ground black pepper
Salt (for boiling the pasta)
Steps
Boil the pasta in well salted water, drain it—but not too well—and pour it into a large, warmed mixing bowl.
Add the grated pecorino and lots of freshly ground pepper, and mix very well until the hot water that clings to the pasta melts the cheese to make a kind of creamy sauce.
Serve on heated plates, topped f you want with more grated pecorino and another healthy grinding of pepper.
