Steps:
- In a pan just wide enough to hold the pasta, place enough water to fill the pan 1 inch from the bottom. Season the water with a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Spread the pasta in the pan and cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the pasta from sticking together. Allow the pasta water to reduce; do not add more, as you want the starchy water to be minimal when the remaining ingredients are added.
- Meanwhile, add the coarse black pepper to a separate small pan over medium heat. Toast a minute or two until fragrant.
- Once the pasta is al dente and the pasta water has reduced so only a slight coating remains at the bottom of the pan, turn off the heat and add the toasted ground black pepper and Pecorino-Romano. Stir and toss vigorously until both ingredients are well incorporated into the pasta. Toss in the olive oil and season with salt.
- Transfer the pasta to a large bowl and garnish with more black pepper, Pecorino-Romano and extra-virgin olive oil.
SPAGHETTI CACIO E PEPE
Cacio e Pepe is a beloved Roman dish made with things you can easily find in your pantry, but there are as many ways to make it as there are cooks in Italy. In this version, olive oil adds a little grassiness and Parmigiano-Reggiano, in addition to the classic Pecorino-Romano, is used to round out the flavors and add an umami richness. If you don't have Parmigiano in the house, simply make the dish with all Pecorino and lower the salt in your pasta water by a tablespoon.

Steps:
- Bring 6 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot over high heat and add 4 tablespoons salt. Drop the pasta into the water. After 1 minute, when the pasta begins to soften, stir to prevent the pasta from sticking together and to submerge it completely in the water.
- Cook according to the package directions for al dente, stirring occasionally. When the pasta is ready, remove 2 cups of pasta water and set aside. Drain the pasta through a colander.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add 2 tablespoons black pepper and cook until the peppercorns begin to warm and become fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in 1/2 cup of the pasta water and then the pasta and stir. Pull the pot off the heat and add the Pecorino and Parmigiano, stirring and tossing vigorously until they melt and the sauce becomes creamy. If the mixture becomes dry, clumpy or stuck together, add more pasta water, 1/4-cup at a time, stirring and tossing until a creamy consistency is reached. (The pasta will thicken as it stands.) Add a little more pasta water at a time to loosen it back up again, if you like. (You might not use all of the pasta water.)
- Serve immediately sprinkled with more Pecorino-Romano and black pepper.

Steps:
- Put the spaghetti, olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt and 5 1/2 cups of water together in a high-sided medium skillet. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Continue to cook, stirring the spaghetti frequently to keep it from clumping, until it is al dente, about 8 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon juice. Gradually sprinkle in the Pecorino and stir until completely melted, then add the butter. Sprinkle in the Parmesan, pepper and 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir until melted and smooth-the cheese will clump at first but will melt into the sauce and thicken it up after about 4 minutes. Divide the spaghetti among 4 bowls and garnish with additional Pecorino and pepper.
CACIO E PEPE
3 Ingredient spaghetti recipe. Literally "cheese and pepper", this minimalist pasta is like a stripped-down mac and cheese. Since this dish has so few ingredients, it is important to use the best quality ingredients you can afford. This dish only takes as long as it takes for the pasta to cook, so be sure to grate your parmesan ahead of time. Save that pasta water, the starchy water is a crucial element to a proper emulsion.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bucatini pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until almost tender yet still firm to the bite, 8 to 9 minutes; they will not be fully cooked. Drain, reserving about 2 cups of pasta cooking water. Set pasta aside.
- Combine Pecorino Romano cheese and 1/2 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of pasta water and stir into a thick paste.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet or saucepan over medium-low heat; swirl to coat the bottom. Add cheese paste and a ladle of pasta water; whisk vigorously to combine. Keep whisking quickly and vigorously to make sure the cheese does not clump, about 30 seconds. Add cooked pasta and black pepper. Keep tossing skillet contents continuously until cheese has coated the pasta evenly and bucatini are cooked al dente, about 2 minutes. Add more water or cheese if the pasta sauce appears too thin or thick.
- Serve immediately topped with shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese and more black pepper.

CACIO E PEPE
This is one of those very simple pasta dishes that have "vanished during the night" as one blogger says ("La ricetta della pasta cacio e pepe si perde nella notte dei tempi." ). It is absolutely spectacular, simple beyond belief, and very difficult to make. (hat's right, difficult, not easy.) I love this dish as much as I love some of the other very, very simple pasta dishes (like one with egg and garlic, and another with salt and potatoes). I tried several times to make it, and then my sister-in-law, who lives near Rome, sent me a webpage with a discussion of the dish, and I learned the secret. (http://viaggiesapori.blogspot.com/2006/08/cacio-e-pepe.html.) The dish should be swimming in sauce, and the sauce should be even (no clots and lumps). The pepper should be extremely strong: it is not a granish, but an ingredient. Think of it like a vegetable or other principal ingredient: it should be surprisingly strong from the first bite to the last. The difficult thing in this recipe is to melt the pecorino romano. If it's not done just right, you end up with unappealing lumps of cheese in a watery sauce. So the dish either succeeds brilliantly or totally fails. If you're planning a dinner party, practice first! They say you need absolutely fresh pecorino romano, and I think that's because you need its full moisture content.

PASTA ALLA CACIO E PEPE
This is purported to be "the best quick meal" we've ever tasted, as per Yvonne Ruperti in Cook's Illustrated. There are two other recipes for cacio e pepe (pasta with Pecorino Romano cheese and black pepper) on RecipeZaar, but this one adds at least one more ingredient to keep the cheese from turning into a big clump. Add cream. This recipe was reprinted as "recipe of the week" in The Week magazine.

Steps:
- Cook the pasta for 2 mins less than pack instructions state, in salted boiling water. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a medium frying pan over a low heat, then add the ground black pepper and toast for a few minutes.
- Drain the pasta, keeping 200ml of the pasta water. Tip the pasta and 100ml of the pasta water into the pan with the butter and pepper. Toss briefly, then scatter over the parmesan evenly, but don't stir - wait for the cheese to melt for 30 seconds, then once melted, toss everything well, and stir together. This prevents the cheese from clumping or going stringy and makes a smooth, shiny sauce. Add a splash more pasta water if you need to, to loosen the sauce and coat the pasta. Serve immediately with a good grating of black pepper.

PASTA CACIO E PEPE
_Pasta with Pecorino and Black Pepper_ This is an old Roman recipe in the tradition of _la cucina povera_ that has always been a favorite of poor and rich alike. (_Cacio_ is a word for "cheese" in Southern Italy.) It is incredibly simple and quick to prepare, but depends on having good-quality Pecorino Romano and pasta, and fragrant peppercorns in your larder. Make it with long or short pasta, whichever you prefer. The arugula is our addition; it brings fresh flavor and color to the dish.
