Pecorino Romano Spaghetti

1 cup grated pecorino romano cheese
4 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
4 quarts water
1 pound spaghetti
2 tablespoons olive oil, optional

In a large bowl, toss the Pecorino Romano cheese with the pepper. There should be enough pepper flecks to speckle the cheese.

In a large pot, bring the salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook until just done. Drain the spaghetti, reserving 3/4 cup of the water.

Add the pasta to the bowl of cheese and toss, adding the water it was cooked in if it is necessary to keep the spaghetti moist. Drizzle with oil, if desired, and serve.
Serves 4.
