Mix grated pecorino with pasta water into a thick, dense pre-cream.
Pasta water and the pre-cream
- pecorino cheese
- good quality black pepper
- spaghetti
- pasta water
Toast the black pepper.
With the heat off, add the pre-cream to the cooked spaghetti with a little pasta water so the cheese melts into cream without strings or lumps.
Toss gently so the pasta jumps, and plate while still a little runny; it thickens to a cream on the plate.
