Ingredients

12 oz gluten free bucatini (Jovial Foods brand) 1 cup freshly grated pecorino romano 1 cup reserved pasta water 2 tbsp butter 1 tsp freshly cracked black pepper

Instructions

Cook pasta slightly al dente and reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
To a skillet, add pasta, butter, and reserved water over low heat until butter melts.
Turn off heat, add cracked black pepper and grated cheese, and toss until creamy.
Add more water if needed. Serve immediately with extra pepper and cheese.

Notes

Use freshly grated cheese for the best texture. Add cheese off the heat to prevent clumping. Toss gently to keep gluten-free pasta intact. Avoid overcooking taste-test early for perfect al dente.
