cacio e pepe

180g spagetti
2 tbsp butter
2 tsp freshly cracked pepper
1 cup pasta water
70g parmesan
20g pecorino

cook the spaghetti for cooking time minus 5 mins.
cook the pepper in the butter while toasted. add 1/2 cup water + parmesan, stir continuously while a beschamel like sauce forms. add pasta, pecorino, and more pasta water if needed.
when it comes together, serve - sprinkle with some salt, add some more parmesan and pepper if desired.

would be great with some bacon, fried alongside the pepper...
