Cacio E Pepe

1. 1

   In a bowl, combine the pepper and the oil; set aside.

2. 2

   Cook pasta to nearly al dente (a few minutes less than package directions).

3. 3

   Right before the pasta is finished cooking, reserve a few ladles of the hot, starchy water to help emulsify the cheese and oil, and add a little to the pepper and oil mixture (not all of it-little by little as needed).

4. 4

   In the pasta pot add the cheese, oil and pepper and toss to coat-if you need to add more water to thin the cheese out a little, add it here.

5. 5

   When cheese, pepper and oil have all been evenly distributed serve on plates or bowls and eat.
