Sometimes simple is best...
Serves 4
15 minutes
Ingredients
Pasta (Pici, Bucatini or similar) 400g
Parmesan 75g
Pecorino 75g
Black pepper (freshly ground) 8g
Butter 30g
Method
Finely grate the parmesan and pecorino and add to a food processor with 8 tablespoons of water. Blitz into a smooth paste, adding more water if needed.
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions.
In a large saucepan melt the butter and add the freshly ground pepper to it. Gently fry the pepper for a couple of minutes to release the aromas.
Once the pasta is cooked, drain it but reserve some of the pasta water.
Add the pasta to the pepper and butter mixture and toss to combine.
Add the cheese paste to the pasta, stirring vigorously and gradually add small amounts of the starchy pasta water. It should form a smooth, creamy sauce that evenly coats the pasta.
Serve immediately - eat and enjoy!
