- In the meantime, melt butter in a frypan, then add a ladle of cooking water. Add a pinch of salt and a generous amount of black pepper, then once the pasta is added into the pan, add the pecorino cheese, ensuring heat is on low and toss to combine
- Serve immediately with freshly cracked black pepper on top.
