Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve about 1 cup of pasta water before draining.

  2. Make the sauce: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  3. Combine pasta with sauce: Add the cooked pasta directly to the skillet with the garlic butter. Toss the pasta to coat evenly with the garlic butter.

  4. Add Pecorino cheese: Sprinkle the freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese over the pasta. Toss the pasta again to coat it with the cheese. If the pasta seems too dry, gradually add a bit of the reserved pasta water to create a creamy sauce.

  5. Season and serve: Season the pasta with salt and black pepper to taste. Toss one more time to ensure everything is well combined.

  6. Serve: Divide the Pasta with Pecorino among plates or bowls. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color and extra flavor.
