Step 1

Fill a medium pot halfway with water, add 2 tablespoons salt, and bring to a boil. Add orzo, give it one big stir, and then cook undisturbed to al dente according to package instructions. Adjust heat as necessary to maintain a boil or very brisk simmer without letting the pot overflow.

Step 2

Drain pasta, place back into pot, and toss with butter and lemon juice until butter is melted. Stir in pecorino and plenty of freshly ground black pepper and serve.
