Ingredients

8 ounces Barilla spaghetti
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup heavy cream
4 ounces freshly grated Parmesan

Instructions

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions for al dente; reserve 1 cup water and drain well.
Melt better in a large skillet over medium heat. Add black pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Stir in heavy cream and 3/4 cups reserved water; bring to a simmer. Stir in Parmesan until slightly thickened, about 2-4 minutes.
Stir in pasta and gently toss to combine. If the mixture is too thick, add more water as needed until desired consistency is reached.
Serve immediately.
