Directions

Toast peppercorns in a dry small skillet over medium-high heat, shaking skillet, until fragrant and beginning to pop, 2-3 minutes. Coarsely crush peppercorns with a mortar and pestle or wrap in a kitchen towel (not terrycloth) and press with bottom of a heavy skillet.

Cook spaghetti in a pasta pot of boiling salted water (2 tablespoons salt for 6 quarts of water) until al dente.

Meanwhile, fill a large ceramic bowl with hot water to warm it. Just before pasta is done cooking, drain bowl but do not dry. Reserve 1 cup of pasta-cooking water, then quickly drain pasta (do not shake off excess water) and add to warm bowl. Sprinkle 1 1/4 cup cheese and 1/2 cup cooking water over pasta and toss quickly. Toss in parsley and 2 teaspoons crushed pepper. If pasta seems too dry, toss with some additional cooking water.

Serve pasta immediately, sprinkled with remaining pepper and cheese. Serve with additional cheese on the side.
