Table-Side Spaghetti

Ingredients

  • Spaghetti
  • Tomato or butter sauce
  • Parmesan or Pecorino, in a chunk
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • Pasta water

Method

  1. 1

    Cook the spaghetti and toss it with the sauce, loosening it with a splash of pasta water.

  2. 2

    Carry the bowl to the table with the cheese on your grater plate.

  3. 3

    Grate the cheese over your own portion — fine for a light dusting, slower for big fluffy curls.

  4. 4

    Pepper it, toss once, and eat while it’s still steaming.
