DinnerStovetop15 minServes 2Vegetarian

Ingredients

• 8 oz spaghetti
• 1 cup finely grated parmesan or pecorino
• 1 tsp coarse black pepper
• 1 tbsp butter

Amounts are scaled from the original 2 servings; cooking times may change for bigger batches.

Steps

1. Cook the pasta in less water than usual so it's starchy; save 1 cup water.
2. Toast the pepper in the butter for 30 seconds, add 1/2 cup pasta water.
3. Add the pasta off the heat, then the cheese a handful at a time, tossing fast and adding water until creamy.

Times are a guide; ovens and air fryers vary. Cook poultry to 165°F, ground meat to 160°F, and pork and fish to 145°F. Diet tags come from the ingredient list; check labels for allergens.
