Cacio e Pepe Pasta

• Bring well-salted water to a boil and add the spaghettini, cook until el dente

• 
  

• Grind your peppercorns in a mortar and pestle, or - if you don't have that - put them in a plastic bag and batter them with a rolling pin. Or a light hammer if everything else fails!

• Pop the ground pepper into a dry, hot pan and toast them until you really smell the pepper. You might get a bit of smoke - get ready with the water!

• 
  

• Add a couple of ladles of water from the pasta - watch out for the hit of steam and pepper!

• Stir it through

• Grate the pecorino cheese into a bowl

• Add a ladle of pasta water to the bowl and stir the cheese into a thick cream

• Transfer the el dente pasta to the pan with the pepper

• Don't drain the pasta, just tong it across with any water clinging to it. Keep the pasta water in the pot in case you need to add any to the pan

• Cook the pasta for another 2 minutes in the pan, stirring the pepper water through it, and add more water if necessary

• Add your bowl of pecorino/water cream and stir it through

• Plate it up - you're done!

• Sprinkle some fresh pepper and grated pecorino over the servings
