  • 1 tbsp Cracked black pepper

  2. In a large non-stick sauté pan add water, butter, and cracked pepper. Bring to a simmer and cook until mixture starts to look creamy and thickens.
  3. Once water and butter mixture starts to thicken, add in pasta and toss to coat in the sauce. Add in cheese, toss well to coat pasta and simmer. Turn off heat and serve immediately. Garnish with more cheese and fresh herbs if you wish.
