Ingredients
- 14 oz (400g) Spaghetti
- 1/2 cup (60g) Pecorino cheese , finely grated
- 1/2 cup (50g) Parmesan Cheese , finely grated
- 1.2 oz (35g) butter
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp white truffle oil
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 large pinch pepper
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and boil until al dente make sure to keep 1 cup (250ml) pasta water.
- Add the butter and olive oil to a large pan and melt the butter until it's sizzling then turn off the heat and add the white truffle oil.
- Drain the pasta and add it to the melted butter and oil. Add the grated cheese with a pinch of salt and a good grinding of pepper.
- Add around 1/4 of the reserved pasta water and toss the pasta with the cheese until it starts to melt and turns into a cheese sauce. If it's a little thick then add another splash of pasta water.
- Serve in big bowls with an extra few drops of truffle oil if desired (taste first it's strong).
Notes
- You won't need all the pasta water but reserve 1 cup (250ml) just in case. The sauce should just coat the pasta without being too thick.
- Make sure to use a fine grater to grate the cheese, if it's grated too coarsely it won't melt as easily and the cheese can clump together instead of emulsifying into a sauce.
