Drop pasta into boiling salted water and cook according to instructions
Toast freshly ground black pepper in a hot pan
Add butter and water to the pepper (1 part butter to 1 part water), allowing it to bubble and reduce slightly to create an emulsified sauce
Transfer cooked pasta directly into the sauce and remove the pan from the direct heat source to avoid clumping
Sprinkle in the grated cheese while tossing vigorously with tongs. The heat from the pasta and water will melt the cheese.
If the sauce is too thick or dry, add more reserved pasta water a little at a time, tossing continuously until a creamy, silky sauce forms
Plate immediately, finishing with extra cheese and cracked pepper
