In a pot of salted water, boil your pasta until al dente. Be sure to save your pasta water. In another pan on med low heat, add 3 tbsp of butter. Cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add black pepper. Start with 1 tsp and go from there. You can always add more! Stir for 1 minute. Add in your cooked pasta, pecorino romano cheese, and 1 cup pasta water. Stir everything together until the cheese melts and turns into a creamy sauce. If the sauce is a little dry, add some more pasta water.
