Ingredients

  • 1 lb dried Spinosi brand tonnarelli
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • A heaping 1/2 tsp very coarsely ground black pepper
  • 1 cup finely grated Pecorino Romano or Toscano

Preparation

  1. Cook the tonnarelli in a large pot of well-salted boiling water. Drain two minutes before time specified on package, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
