## Ingredients

* 160g Pecorino Romano cheese (Freshly and Finely Grated)
* 1 Tbsp Quality Black Peppercorn (i.e. Tellicherry)
* 1lb Pasta (Thick Spaghetti)
* 2.5 oz Pecorino Romano cheese (Freshly Grated)
* 5.5 oz freshly grated Parmiggiano Reggiano cheese
* 1 tbsp Black Peppercorn (i.e. Tellicherry)
* 1lb Pasta (Spaghetti)
* Olive oil

## Tools

## Steps
### Peppercorn
1. In pan, toast peppercorns until fragrant
1. Crush toasted peppercorns in mortar and pestel
### Pasta
1. In pot, bring water to boil.
1. Add pasta and salt to pot
1. Cook pasta to halfway to al dente. For my thick spaghetti, this was 4 minutes.
### Cheese
1. Put pecorino cheese in bowl
1. Add a little pasta water into the cheese bowl
1. Mix until you get a creamy cheese paste. If needed, add more pasta water to get the right consistency.
### Combine
1. In pan on medium heat, add toasted crushed peppercorns
1. Add a little pasta water and reduce
1. When pasta is almost at al dente, use tongs to remove pasta from pot and add to pan
1. Cook pasta to al dente. Shake/stir pasta to prevent burning. Add pasta water as needed.
1. Add cheese paste. Mix to incorporate. Add pasta water as needed.
2. Add pasta and salt to pot
3. Cook pasta to close to al dente. For my spaghetti, this was 7 minutes.
4. In a blender, combine:
* 1 cup starchy pasta water
* Black peppercorn
* Pecorino romano cheese
* Parmesan cheese
5. Start blender and slowly add in olive oil until sauce is emulsified and has a creamy texture
6. Combine pasta and sauce. Top with additional cheese and ground pepper. Serve.
## Additional Notes
* Key to the getting the creamy texture is the concentration of starch in the pasta water. Use as little water with the pasta to have a higher concentration of starch.
