- table salt
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ground black pepper
- Place finely grated Pecorino Romano in medium bowl. Set colander inside large bowl.

Drain pasta into colander, reserving cooking water. Pour 1 1/2 cups cooking water into liquid measuring cup and discard remainder. Return pasta to now-empty bowl.
- Slowly whisk 1 cup of reserved pasta water into finely grated Pecorino until smooth. Whisk in cream, oil, and black pepper. Gradually pour mixture over pasta, tossing to coat. Let pasta rest 1 to 2 minutes, tossing frequently, adjusting consistency with remaining pasta water. Serve, passing coarsely grated Pecorino separately.
