1 ½ tsp ground black pepper
Salt to taste

Procedure:

Take a large pan and heat some water in it. Put some salt in the water and when it starts boiling, put the spaghetti in. Cook only for a few minutes till it is just soft enough for use. Don’t overcook as it will not give you the desired look or taste.
Drain the water away from the spaghetti but store this water for future use. You will need about 1 ½ cups of this water.
Now that the pan is ready for use again, clean it well and put it on high heat. Add the oil to the pan but take care that it does not get over heated.
When the olive oil is quite hot, put the drained spaghetti in along with the cooking water. Be careful when you do this as there can be splashing in the pan and you might get burnt in the process. Just put the ingredients in and jump back quickly.
Keep the pan on high heat till the water is almost evaporated. Add the grated cheese, salt and black pepper and mix well. Take a wooden spoon and carefully turn the ingredients around in the pan. You can see a sauce forming in the pan because of the cheese, water and oil.
Your recipe is almost done. Before serving, add the rest of the grated cheese on top and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper. You can savor the yummy taste now.
