INGREDIENTS:
-1 lb Bucatini pasta
-5 tbsp butter (divided)
-1 tbsp freshly cracked black pepper, plus more for topping
-1 cup freshly grated pecorino romano, plus more for topping
-1 cup freshly grated parmesan, plus more topping
-4 tbsp olive oil-2 cups reserved pasta water (cooking water)
*Optional: shaved parmesan
Truffle salt
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta & follow box instructions for al dente (about 8-9 minutes depending on the brand). Pasta will continue to cook later in the sauce.
2. Before draining the pasta, scoop out 2 cups of cooking water & place into a small bowl. Drain pasta & set aside. In a large skillet melt 4 tbsp of butter, 4 tbsp olive oil & 1 tbsp pepper until butter is melted. Add in pasta, 1 cup of pasta water & both cups of parmesan & pecorino cheese. Toss to combine until all cheese is melted. Add last tbsp of butter & toss.
3. Continue adding very small amounts of left over pasta water until reaching a creamy sauce. (If it looks watery, don't worry it will continue to thicken as it sits).
Top with extra grated cheese and freshly cracked black pepper.
*Optional: After I took a nice photo of course... I also topped mine with a few slices of shaved parmesan & truffle salt, adds such an amazing level of flavor!
