Literally meaning "cheese and pepper," we like to think of this as a stripped-down mac and cheese. (1) Melt 4TBS of butter into a skillet, pan, or dutch oven while your pasta boils. (2) Stir in 2TSP of ground pepper to the butter until toasted. (3) Add 1 cup of reserved salty pasta water to your butter-pepper mixture until simmering. (4) Add your pasta, a bit more butter, and 1.5 cups of grated parm before lowering the heat and tossing it all together. Serve it as soon as it's glossy, silky, and delicious. (5) Take a pic and add "culinary professional" to your LinkedIn.
