Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add in salt. Cook your pasta until al dente.
Step 2
Remove cooked pasta from the water with tongs when finished and placed into a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Working quickly, add in 1 1/4 cups pecorino romano cheese immediately, reserving the remaining 1/4 cup. Add in 1/2 cup of the pasta water and pepper.
Step 4
Stir with tongs quickly to allow the heat from the pasta and water to melt the cheese. Add remaining water until you have a thick, creamy sauce coating the pasta.
Step 5
Serve hot sprinkled with remaining cheese.
