Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil and stir in the salt. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 9-10 minutes. The pasta should be tender and just a little bit firm.
- While the pasta is cooking, warm the oil and melt the butter in a large enamel or nonstick skillet over medium-heat. Add the pepper and let it cook until fragrant, about 20-30 seconds. Remove from the heat.
- When the pasta is al dente, use tongs or a pasta server to transfer the pasta durectly to the pan with the butter and pepper. Add about half a cup of the pasta water to the pan and quickly toss the pasta to mix it with the butter and pepper.
- Add about half the cheese and toss again to coat. Add a bit more cheese, along with a splash or two of additional water, as needed only if the pasta appears dry.
- Serve immediately with an additional sprinkling of cheese and a bit more pepper, if desired.
