Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook the pasta until al dente. We will finish cooking it in the sauce. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet or cooking pan, add freshly cracked black pepper. Toast on medium heat for a few minutes until fragrant. Then, add the pasta water to the same cooking pan. Note: Please step away to avoid inhaling the harsh aroma of the pepper particles that may come from the formed steam.
Step 3
Add heavy cream and whisk to combine. Cook for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened. Then, whisk in grated cheese and butter until creamy and smooth.
Step 4
Add in cooked pasta and stir to combine. Simmer on low for a few minutes until slightly thickened. Garnish with additional cracked pepper.
