Last night was a night I cooked an old favorite for dinner. I made my own pasta using my pasta maker. I made spaghetti.
Ingredients:
1 T coarsely ground black pepper (freshly ground)
1/4 c extra virgin olive oil
1/4 c unsalted butter
1 pound of spaghetti
1/4 c freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano (plus a little for serving for the dish)
1/4 c freshly grated pecorino romano
kosher salt
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 T of kosher salt.
In a large wok, over medium heat, add the pepper and toast for 15-20 seconds. Add oil and butter and stir until melted. Turn off heat.
Cook pasta (reserve 1/2 c of the pasta water) and drain.
Add 1/4 c of the pasta water to the oil and butter, and turn on heat to medium. Add pasta and stir until the pasta is well coated. Toss in the cheese and a splash of the water. Serve with the Parmigiano cheese.
I serve with a side of asparagus or carrots. If I can, I also add a side salad.
