Ingredients
- 6 ounces Pecorino Romano cheese, grated
- 1 pound spaghetti
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons half and half
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons pepper
Place grated pecorino in a medium bowl and set aside.
Place a colander with a large bowl under it to capture the cooking liquid.
Bring 8 cups of water to boil in a large pot. Add pasta and salt and cook, stirring often until al dente (follow cooking directions, about usually about 8-10 minutes). Drain in colander, reserving the cooking water. Return pasta to now empty cooking pot.
Slowly whisk 1 cup of reserved cooking water into finely grated pecorino until smooth. Then whisk in heavy cream, oil, and pepper. Gradually pour cheese mixture over the pasta and toss to combine. Let pasta rest for 2 minutes, and add more cooking water as needed to adjust the consistency. Serve while hot! Enjoy!
