## Ingredients
- Spaghetti (recipe works with pretty much any type)
- Grated Parmasean Cheese (or something similar, pic above uses parmasean and fresh mozzarella)
- Grated Parmesan Cheese (or something similar)
- Spaghetti
- Grated Pecorino Romano
- Peppercorns (you can also use pepper but it will change the flavour)
## Directions
1. Cook your chosen amount of spaghetti 1-2 minutes under the time on the package
according to the directions on the package or however you usually do it.
2. Discard most of the water, leaving about 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water in with the pasta (it depends on how much pasta you're making)
3. On medium heat, add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir everything so that the cheese melts and evenly coats the pasta.
How much cheese you need depends on how much spaghetti you're cooking. If it doesn't taste cheesy enough, add more on top at the end.
4. After 1 minute or so on medium heat, the pasta water and cheese will combine to form a creamy sauce.
5. Top with more cheese if you need, then add black pepper and salt according to your taste.
Pasta water and the cheese are already salty, so you may not need to add any extra salt.
6. It's done!
1. Cook your chosen amount of spaghetti 3-4 minutes under the time on the package
according to the directions on the package or however you usually do it.
2. Meanwhile place the peppercorns on a cutting board and mash them with a pestle.
3. Place half of the peppercorns in a pan and toast them at medium heat.
4. Drain the pasta, place it in the pan and save the boiling water for later use.
5. Add the pasta with the pepper with 2 spoons of the water previously saved.
6. Prepare the Pecorino by putting half of it a bowl with a spoon of boiling water; continue mixing the cheese with the water until a cream is formed.
7. When the pasta is almost cooked, add the cream and mix (you can add more water if the pasta is too dry).
8. Serve on a plate with the Pecorino left before on top.
