Pasta
Method
Preparation
Cook Bucatini
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the bucatini and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 9-11 minutes.
Reserve Pasta Water
Before draining the pasta, reserve about 1 cup of the pasta cooking water.
Combine Ingredients
In a large pan over medium heat, combine the drained bucatini with a splash of reserved pasta water. Stir in the grated Parmesan and black pepper. Mix well until the cheese melts and creates a creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add more pasta water as needed.
Season and Serve
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and more black pepper if desired. Serve immediately with extra Parmesan on top.
